I've heard it might be tricky. Is it true? What is the best way to that? It's this year's plant. No flowers yet.
Cher, they won't grow near the Texas Gulf Coast, so they probably won't grow in Florida, either, unless you live in the northern part and then only maybe. Same goes for Peonies! Those two are my most favorite flowers of all and I can't grow either. Boo!

It would be helpful to know your planting zone. Found this on Google:
What zones do lilacs grow in?
It grows and blooms in hardiness zones 3 through 9, reaching 8 to 12 feet tall and 6 to 10 feet wide. Plant in full or partial sunlight.
It's too hot for lilacs in the south. A good substitution for lilacs is Crape Myrtle.
Thank you
Thank you. That is very helpful.
Thank you.
Thanks for your comment. We only moved to FL because our kids and our grandkids all moved here. Had a home in IN that we designed and built in 1990 and thought we would be there till we died but God apparently had other plans for us so here we are. I just really miss all of the flowers and shrubs I had and especially the row of Lilac bushes along our fence line. Guess it is time to find something else I can enjoy in this climate.
Cher i thought as everyone else did but i bought a lilac in north carolina i have had it for 8years and it blooms every spring sometimes twice a year i planted it so it gets the morning sun i live in ocala fl and it surprised me but it did grow and bloom
