My lilacs arent flowering after 2 years. They are mostly in shade. should I move them and when should I do it?

Some lilacs start flowering two years after planting, but many take about five years. They can produce heavy blooms one year and few the next. For best results, plant in full sun away greedy roots of mature trees and follow proper pruning practices. Avoid high nitrogen fertilizers, as they encourage leafy growth at the expense of flowers.

I have lilacs growing everywhere and they do NOT need full sun. Partial but not full. fertilize them very well and they should bloom for you next years. it does take them a while to get established. and if you move them you will just have to start all over again.

Reply:Lilacs need full sun. Yes, you should move them. Call a gardening center to ask when. I%26#039;m not sure.
Reply:I have a very old lilac bush that is mostly in shade and did not bloom at all for several years. It%26#039;s still a beautiful bush with a very interesting ancient twisted trunk. Now that I have trimmed the bottom branches, water it more regularly and feed it with some time release plant food, it has some blooms on it early in the Spring.
