 If a lilac is considered fair talk on this list could I ask a question.
 If it is off topic then could I get private answers.
 I read that lilacs are cold climate plants.
 Is there anything that will grow in zone 7? I bought a lilac bush at
Lowe's and I assume since it was sold in this zone it will grow. But
before I buy any more I would like to know if there is a certain type I
should get.
 When we lived in North Dakota, I was in heaven. The base housing had
lined the back of the housing area with a whole string of these bushes
and they bloomed gorgeously.
 The lilac has always been my favorite scent and I would love to grow my
own.
 Thnaks,
 Rita
