I noticed my dwarf Korean lilacs are blooming. I like the small leaves and dainty flowers that this plant has. When we moved into our house a few years ago (already!), we had two of these lilacs planted in the landscape in front. They should not have been planted there because they had outgrown their allotted space. We moved them into the back yard when we designed some landscaping back there.
This brings up the point of trying to plant too much in a small space. When you are designing your landscape beds, think about the full size of the plant. The little plants you put in the ground today will soon grow. Also, remember to regularly prune any shrubs that you plant to maintain their size or keep them from getting too big. A little effort now will prevent big headaches (and wasted money) down the road.
