Just remember that they need at least 6 hours of sun to really do well. We had ours too shaded and it just didn't work.

Check with your local county extension office; they are a fabulous resource! Normally the best time is when they become available 'bare root" in your area for the best price. Bush or tree depends on the location you want to put it in, and what you want it to look like, both are beautiful. It's like a rose bush or a rose tree really. Only "lilac" rather than roses!

Usually you should plant lilacs in the spring time but since that is passed you can still plant them as long as you make sure to water them and make sure they have plenty of sun.
