Did you all know that Diana’s nursery (Jung’s) sells re-blooming lilacs? IOW, they boom more than once each year.
I was thinking of getting some for a spot I’d like to fill, but (AGAIN) it is not ready for planting and no one to help. Husband is too busy, and my knee won’t let me spade.
I’d also like to have some specimens of “Miss Kim”, a drawf lilac that gets only 4-6 ft. tall.
Just a suggestion but are there any middle school or high school kids near you? I guarantee there are some young un’s that would like a bit of prom money (movie money, gas money, etc) and their youth make digging a simple chore. If you don’t know any personally, contact a local church and speak to the youth director. He or she can present this “job” to their pre-teens and teens. Simply explain that your knees hurt and your husband can’t do it.
I am totally considering a reblooming Lilac. Of course, with my luck... it won’t bloom twice. LOL! I couldn’t say a thing to Diana because she is known to sick her rooster on people!
