Will lilacs grow in the shade?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

From what I've observed, pussy willows are a more or less sun-loving plant. They can grow and even produce some blossoms, in tight competition in the wild, such as in stands of brush or saplings--which is somewhat "shade" since it shades the plants heavily on the sides. Progressing to a real "woods" situation, other trees more vigorous than them may tend to overtop them, and the shade then begins to get so heavy that the pussy willows probably begin to do poorly and decline, and die prematurely I imagine.

But really overall, they are mostly a plant for either sun or light or partial or part-day shade.

Why would your lilac bushes have some leaves that are stunted and turning yellow?

== == * You've either let the rose bush get too dry or over watered it. Also check on the back of the leaves (also in the rose pedals) for bugs. If you have any insects on the bush then use 'Safer's Bar Soap' use a potato peeler and put the pieces in a spray water and add tepid water, then spray your rose bushes (all of them or any other plants around them) including the group at the bottom of the plants. Safe Soap is environmentally friendly and it's been used for years. * Yellow leaves are caused by many different factors: too dry, too wet, insects, disease, lack of Nitrogen, lack of air, too much sun, not enough sun just to list a few. Insufficient amounts of Nitrogen can also cause leaves to yellow. If this is the case, water rose bush well. four or so hours later, when roots are actively "drinking" water with Rose Food (fertilizer) following concentration directions on package.

Hmmm...definitely not maroon, - that is quite dark, almost like a burgundy. Lilac is quite a pale purple and I'm not really sure about musk, I'm sorry. Hopefully that helps a little bit, lol!

What is the significance of rosemary?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Rosemary's Baby is a novel by Ira Levin and also a movie starring Mia Farrow. It is about a young couple who move into a new apartment in New York City. The husband (Guy) is a struggling actor. When Rosemary mysteriously becomes pregnant, she begins to suspect that her husband and her neighbors (the Castavets) are involved with witchcraft, and the blessing of her baby turns out to be less of a blessing after all... I highly recommend you read the book and/or see the movie.

When do you prune a lilac tree?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I usually start with cutting out all of the 'suckers' in the bush. These are the very straight branches growing straight up. Then I trim to the height that I want to bush at. Then I will thin out a bit, trying to take out some of the very oldest branches to allow the new growth to fill in. Another criteria to look at is anywhere two fairly large branches are crossing each other, particularly if they are touching each other. The main thing to remember is that lilac flowers on two to three year old wood so don't prune the tree too hard unless you are prepared to do without flowers for a couple of years!
