The lilac is one of the trees that are probably planted in every garden. The plant, which often has purple or white flowers, can also be found in parks and along railway lines. Syringa, as the flowering plant is scientifically called, is considered robust and easy to care for. Of course, this also applies to their water requirements.
Planted lilacs usually do not need to be watered
When you should water lilacs - and when it is not necessary
Although lilacs that have been planted out do not necessarily have to be watered additionally, this could be useful for freshly planted young plants, and not only in dry times. After planting, a young lilac grows faster, but you should not overdo it with water: the soil should be slightly moist, but not wet. Waterlogging is harmful and leads to root rot. Even after transplanting, additional watering makes sense for the reason described, otherwise a healthy lilac only needs additional water during the drought phase - especially during budding and flowering.
tips
Lilacs cultivated in pots should of course be kept evenly moist, after all these specimens cannot take care of themselves. But waterlogging should also be avoided here.
