Lilac is a classic plant family producing wonderfully fragrant panicles of flowers in spring. Some species bloom early, others middle, and late spring. 'Mount Baker' is a profuse and early bloomer, displaying showy panicles packed with very fragrant, pure white single flowers in mid spring, roughly 7-10 days earlier than common lilacs. Plant in well-drained to moist, amended soil. Water well after planting; maintain 1" of water once a week the first year. Prune in spring immediately after flowering to control size, and remove stray shoots or damaged limbs anytime. Feed early spring and mid-summer with a slow release fertilizer. Follow label instructions. Mulch 2" to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature.
