Re: Lilac in SC

Good luck, Andrea.  My grandmother who lived in the Florida Panhandle
often told me how much she missed the lilacs she remembered from her
childhood in upper NY state.  For years I sent her lilac plants that were
advertsed to bloom without cold winter weather.  None of them ever
survived, but then that was a bit farther south than you are, and maybe
there are new cultivars.  Good luck. Auralie

I've been meaning to do a garden chat report on my Syringa 'Blue Skies.' So
far, so good. It's growing, no disease, and no keeling over from the heat. It
hasn't bloomed yet but I didn't really expect it to as it is still very small.
I have it in afternoon shade but it gets a good bit of sun in the morning. So,
for those of you outside of Lilac zone this one seems to be working. It's
hardy 5-9 and supposedly doesn't need chill hours to bloom. Will let you know
if that ever happens.
