They should. Give them a few months, look for new growth, trim out anything that is dead.

In Canada, lilacs are hit hard with snow and blizzard all the time and they come up every year. Don%26#039;t worry yours will be fine. I pulled up one shoot 2 years ago and put it on a pot and it%26#039;s doing great outside on -45 C. I just noticed it%26#039;s budding already (yesterday).

Reply:Lilacs are very hardy. My mom accidently split one in half when the side-shoot on the mower ripped a twin trunk apart. Now we have *two* lilac trees. Depending on when your trees were hit with snow (during the winter--doesn%26#039;t matter, during the spring--you%26#039;ll get a later bloom OR during the spring with the blooms--blooms will die off but you will still get healthy foilage), the results will vary, but your trees will not die.

Reply:I live in Iowa too. Your Lilac tree will be fine. The short cold spurt we had haven%26#039;t harmed any of my plants or any of my shrubs, trees that had been planted with in a year. I had already trimmed back all of my plants that get trimmed yearly and they are doing good so far.The snow acts like an insulation barrier for them.
Reply:I live in northern Illinois . Your lilacs trees will come back. Try to prune back old or dead branches so new growth will appear.
