Blank Slate I want to do something different and interesting with the bed. Something long-lasting and vibrant. The front of the house has a few hundred tulips, daffodils, lilies of many varieties and I'll be putting in some annuals later in the year.

Lilacs are shrubs, not trees. That is they grow as a colony of a whole bunch of stems. They bloom better on newer wood. For old lilacs (which yours is definitely not), they can be rejuvenated by cutting out a lot of the old stems. So no I wouldn't cut the new stems out. 2 posts Page 1 of 1 Return to “Lilacs Forum” Jump to
New to the forum here. Live in Western Maryland and have been gardening (flowers and landsacpe) for about the last 15 years. Still finding each year thats there's still much for me to learn. My wife gets aggrivated when I put a new bed in only to lift everything out the next year to correct or change things up. Still, the plants always go back in the ground but maybe in new locations.
Also Japanese Gardening, Roses, Lilacs, Perennials, organic gardening, Landscape Design, and tons of other threads/sections. Don't stay up too late reading... We've been to LV many times, stay at a different property each time. Haven't found a favourite, yet. 5 posts Page 1 of 1 Return to “Introduce Yourself Please” Jump to
