pruning lilacs
 

Can anyone tell me when the best time to prune lilacs. Some say: right after
they bloom and die. Some say early spring
I would love more info becouse my lilacs have been very short in blooming
the last few years. THANK YOU

I say right after bloom, before they go to seed, and before the summer
solstice. This will lead to the best allocation to new types of buds for the
plant.

We trim ours right after they bloom and they are as hearty as they could be.
