Pruning a Miss Kim lilac #755321

Asked June 10, 2021, 1:01 PM EDT

How far back do I prune the flowers of a Miss Kim lilac? To the first set of leaves? Further? Thanks!

Hennepin County Minnesota

Expert Response

As little as possible because pruning back too far can prevent blooming next year.  Just snipping off the flowers is best.  See the following for additional information:
