Lilac Bushes
I belong to the Arbor Club. And I have donated to them, and with some of my donations, I recieve trees, bulbs, etc. O.K., the front of my home is very plane. There is no shade for morning and afternoon sun. Moral? Do you think it would look O.K. to plant 5 Lilac bushes in front of the house? Like a border of bushes next to the house and windows, or not? We havn't the means to landscape the way we would like, so I have to make do with what we have. Just want to know what you think.
Thank You

maintenance and upkeep
Please provide information for proper maintenance and upkeep of items when featuring a particular item. I love gardening, but I confess not a professional when it comes to proper upkeep like trimming, appropriate time to fertilize, etc.
