Frequently Asked Questions
Lilac needs a period of winter chill (below 7°C for several weeks) to bloom properly. It grows well in most of Turkey except the warmest coastal zones where winters are too mild.
Common reasons include insufficient sunlight (needs at least 6 hours), over-fertilizing with nitrogen, improper pruning timing (prune right after flowering), or the plant being too young. Lilacs typically need 3-4 years to establish before flowering abundantly.
