How do I get my lilac bush to produce flowers, not just leaves?

Our Advice:

Lilac can gradually stop flowering if they have not been fed or pruned on a regular basis. Encourage flowering by feeding in spring and late-summer with Sulphate of Potash at about 100g per square metre (4oz per square yard).
