Q. I have lilac bushes that haven’t bloomed in two years. What should I do?
Norwalk, Connecticut
A. Are your lilacs planted in full sun? They bloom very poorly in the shade.
Are your lilacs old with lots of suckers that have not been thinned? A plethora of suckers could be using up all the energy of the plant on making leaves instead of flowers.
