Planting & Care

Plant your New Age™ White Syringa within four weeks of arrival in a location with full sun and well-drained soil, digging a hole twice as wide as the root ball. Water deeply twice weekly during the first growing season to establish strong roots, then reduce watering once the plant is mature since it tolerates dry conditions well. Prune immediately after flowering ends in spring to maintain shape, and apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring to encourage vigorous growth without promoting excessive foliage.
