Spring is finally shaking off its grip in Southeast Wisconsin, and the nursery yard is filling up fast. We’ve been unloading fresh stock all week, and the smell of damp soil and new growth is hard to beat. If you’ve driven past our Cedarburg location lately, you’ve probably noticed the color coming back. It’s happening.

Why Lilacs Belong in a Wisconsin Garden
There’s a reason lilacs show up in almost every established garden around here. They’re tough, long-lived, and they ask very little of you once they’re established. A mature Donald Wyman Lilac will reward you with weeks of bloom every spring. Plant them near a window or along a walkway where you’ll catch the fragrance on a warm afternoon. They also make excellent cut stems for the kitchen table.
Quick Tip: Pre-Emergent Herbicide Before Mulching
Before you lay down fresh mulch this spring, consider applying a pre-emergent herbicide first. This simple step blocks weed seeds from germinating under your mulch layer, which means far less hand-weeding through the summer. Timing matters: you want to get it down before soil temperatures hit about 55 degrees consistently. We wrote up a detailed guide on this if you want the full rundown: Pre-Emergent Herbicide Before Mulching.
