Lilac Bushes

What to Put Near Lilacs
"Lilacs are lime-lovers, so lime well, and don't add acid-lovers to the bed. You'll still need to get close to the flowers for sniffing and pruning purposes, so add a few step stones and maybe some Lavender (which is another lime-lover), Forget-me-nots and Thymes. Mulch the areas in between, and you can add more later... such as Daffodils and other Spring bulbs."


That sounds lovely. Probably instead of forget-me-nots, I would opt for a Kansas Native that likes limey soils.
