    Good morning, just to introduce myself, I'm frangipan and I live in Spain.I love my garden but in the region where we live it's a constant battle against the elements. We've got quite an assortment of plants, some we brought from England, one of them is a white lilac, it hasn't grown very much and more to the point NEVER FLOWERED, what's the best way to get it do this please?

    Hi frangipan, and welcome to the site. Start feeding your lilac with Tomato food. I`t wont help it flower this year but it should put on a show next year.

    Hi Frangipan. Welcome to GC. I'll second David's advice and add that it should be fed next year in the early growing season as well. (In Spain that;s probably about February)
