Is lilac a shade or sun-loving plant?

Do lilacs prefer shade or sun?

Lilac is a sun-loving temperate deciduous shrub. It likes plenty of sunlight and needs enough light during its growth period to enable it to better absorb nutrients, so that the color of the flowers will be brighter.

The light requirements of lilac vary in different seasons. In spring and autumn, it is in its growth period and needs sufficient light to enable it to grow rapidly.

In summer, the light is relatively strong, so you can block some of the sunlight to prevent leaves and flowers from being burned. In winter, the daylight hours are shorter, so you can expose the flowers to direct sunlight to raise the temperature and prevent frostbite.

Lilac flowers can be exposed to the sun. If they do not get enough sunlight during the growing period, their leaves will turn yellow, but you should also be careful not to expose them to excessive sunlight.

Growth habits of lilac

Lilac likes fertilizer and likes to grow in fertile, well-drained, breathable and moist soil. It has strong drought resistance, requires sufficient light during its growth period, and the leaves also need regular watering. It can release a faint fragrance during the flowering period, which is very charming and very suitable for growing in the bedroom at home.
