I would like to grow a Lilac bush. Can I do this from another bush? They cost too much in the store. Pam?

I have planted seads from a bush last year, they started to grow and then all died.

find someone with a lilac bush that is sending up suckers (small lilacs growing up from the big tree) Dig one of the suckers up and make sure it has a long tap root with little spider roots coming off it. Plant this in some potting soil and make sure you keep it moist.





My family and friends have started quite a few doing this.
Reply:Like others have explained get a start from the base of another bush. they%26#039;re pretty simple to grow. Go ahead and plant it in the ground where you want to keep it. sad to say that it takes three years before they bloom but it%26#039;s worth the trouble just to smell them in the air. they live for a hundred years plus. i just got another start from an old friend. mine is blue and the new is white. give lots of water until the plant is established then it will be care free.
Reply:Give them LOTS of water.
Reply:Yes, just get some rooting powder and dip the end of a cut or pulled-off shoot from a bush into it, then plant it in a pot of well fertilised soil and make sure you keep it well watered until roots grow, then plant out.
Reply:Go see one of your neighbours that HAS lilacs and ask them for a %26#039;sucker%26#039; from the bottom of their bush. If you are careful digging it up and cutting it off of the parent plant, you will have a successful lilac transplant.
