Syringa persica, commonly known as Persian Lilac, is a deciduous shrub in the Oleaceae family. Native to the Middle East, it is known for its fragrant, pale purple flowers that bloom in late spring. The plant prefers temperate climates and can reach up to 2-3 meters in height. It undergoes a dormancy period during the winter months.
Persian Lilac thrives in areas with full sun exposure and moderate temperatures. It prefers soil that dries out partially between waterings and benefits from a balanced fertilizer during the growing season. Regular pruning helps maintain its shape and encourages more blooms.
土壤
Syringa persica prefers well-draining loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot. Adding organic matter can improve soil structure and fertility.
肥料
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 during the growing season. Apply the fertilizer once a month to support healthy growth and abundant flowering.
换盆
Repotting is generally not required for outdoor shrubs, but if grown in containers, repot every 2-3 years. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage and fresh loamy soil.
传播
Propagate Persian Lilac through softwood cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Dip the cuttings in rooting hormone and plant them in a well-draining soil mix. Keep the soil moist and provide indirect light until roots develop.
修剪
Prune immediately after flowering to maintain the shape and encourage new growth. Remove any dead or diseased wood and thin out crowded branches to improve air circulation.
毒性
Syringa persica is not toxic to pets or humans. All parts of the plant are considered safe, making it a good choice for gardens with children and pets.
额外的
To enhance flowering, ensure the plant receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Mulching around the base can help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
