How to Prune Lilacs

Lilac bushes can get tall and leggy and knowing how to prune them will give you years of beautiful, fragrant flowers on manageable plants. Three different ways of pruning lilacs depend on whether the plant is well-maintained, overgrown, or completely wild. The most important aspect of lilac pruning is know when to prune -- right after the flowers fade. Severe pruning of an overgrown plant is good to do in late winter or early spring.
