Transplanting Lilacs Help
Posted: Wed Mar 11, 2015 11:27 am
My Mother-in-law has a 80 foot fence lined with 15 foot tall lilacs that have been growing there for 30+ years and offered to let me dig some of the off shoots for planting at my house witch is about half a mile down the road. I did dig up some of the 3 foot tall outliers and planted them in my yard. They lived for two years but never bloomed or grow bigger but the third year they were dead. The offer to transplant form her plants still stands and I would love to try again. Any help or tips for transplanting and care would be appreciated. Thanks
