Every lilac variety we work with in our London studio – how to tell them apart, when they are in season and how to make them last.
Strip all leaves below the waterline as they draw water away from the blooms. Recut stems at an angle and consider splitting or lightly crushing the woody base to improve water uptake. Use clean water with flower food and keep away from direct heat. Lilac is sensitive to wilting, so recut and refresh water every 1–2 days.
