What to Feed Lilac Bush

Question

I have a lilac bush and a hibiscus planted in the same area … what to feed?

Answer 1

Lilacs do best when not fertilized. That said, you can use a general-purpose fertilizer (low in nitrogen) in the spring to help give lilacs a little boost. You can also add some compost in and around the soil. If you are having issues with blooming, use a high phosphorus fertilizer or add bone meal to the soil.
