CSU has done some scientific research on several plant species to truly
determine their "xericness". Ususally, its 1" 1/2" and 1/4" per week
regimes. Once Lilacs are established they are not really water hogs.
I have my Korean Lilacs on the east side of the house growing in granite
sand no doubt. I walk by them every day and when they look wilty I water
them. Maybe once every two weeks in the heat of summer.
