The beautiful colors of the flowers in spring and the

amazing fragrances make

lilacs among our favorite

landscape plants and they're very common in many gardens.

But just as commonly, many gardeners don't fully understand how

and when to prune lilacs.

So I'll help you with that today as I show you how

I prune my lilacs.

Hi, I'm Gardener Scott and I'm standing in front of my lilac bushes in the landscape of the house that I recently

moved into. And they're quite overgrown and in drastic

need of pruning. If you look,

there's no flowers and that means it's the ideal time to prune these lilac.

I had flowers just a few short weeks ago, but they've faded and now's the time to prune.

The lilac is a plant that sets the buds for

next year's flowers right after this year's flowers begin to fade.

So by pruning now I can ensure that I'll have some flowers

next year. It's a very common problem and a question I've received a lot, which is...

why isn't my lilac flowering?

Well, it's probably because the gardener waited too long to prune.

Because if we wait till winter like we do with dormant trees and I cut back this plant,

I'm probably cutting off those flower buds. So next year I'll have no flowers.
