Watering
Charles Joly Lilac requires regular watering, especially during dry periods. It prefers well-drained soil, so make sure not to over-water or let the roots sit in water.
Fertilizing
The fertilizer requirement for Charles Joly Lilac is a standard balanced fertilizer with a nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium (NPK) ratio of 10-10-10 or a similar formulation suitable for flowering shrubs.
The Charles Joly Lilac, also known as Syringa vulgaris ‘Charles Joly’, is an upright, deciduous lilac shrub. It blooms with fragrant, magenta, double flowers against heart-shaped leaves that open from purple buds in late spring.
The blooming lilac blossoms last around four weeks, with a very dramatic display. And otherwise, the dark green foliage remains an attraction for the rest of the summer. Charles Joly Lilac is an award-winning lilac and is considered one of the best in its color class.
It grows up to 10-12 feet tall and 8-10 feet wide. It tolerates light shade but prefers the full sun. And when it comes to soil conditions, it's highly adaptable. It grows best though in fertile, well-drained soils enriched with organic matter.
Charles Joly Lilac is generally easy to care for. It only requires the occasional pruning and regular watering during its first growing season. Pruning should be immediately after flowering to prompt the removal of faded flowers and increase the double bloom production in the following year.
When it comes to pruning, avoid cutting back into old wood, as this can cause the plant to die back. Instead, make your cuts just above a healthy bud or side branch. And make sure to also remove root suckers to prevent colonial spread.
