Lily of the valley and lilac bush

Hello,
I am wondering if having lily of the valley under the lilac bush would rob the lilac bush of nutrients. Our bush has been blooming less and less with each passing year. This year, there were no blooms at all.

Thank you for your thoughts.

No, Lily of The Valley are an excellent underplanting for a Lilac.

There can be a few different reasons for a lack of blooms.

Thank you so much for this article! There could definitwly be a couple of reasons. I will need to have the soil tested to rule out the nitrogen levels as problematic. Are there any home tests?
