Signs of Cold Temperatures in Late Lilac
Symptoms
Late Lilac tolerates cold well and flourishes when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, it needs to stay above 50℉. If temperatures drop below 40℉, while no immediate winter damage may be apparent, branches can become brittle and dry by spring, with no new growth appearing.
Solutions
In spring, remove any dead branches that haven't produced new leaves.
Signs of High Temperatures in Late Lilac
Symptoms
In summer, Late Lilac should be kept below 75℉. When temperatures go above 80℉, the plant's leaves might lighten in color, their tips could dry and wither, and the plant becomes more prone to sunburn.
Solutions
Remove any sun-damaged and dried sections. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade cloth for cover. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
