How to Plant, Grow, and Care for Lilac Shrubs
ADVERTISEMENT
I am from Europe and grew up with Lilac plants. The first thing I did when we moved to a new house, I planted a lilac. It's a young tree and unfortunately, my spouse hired a person to mow our lawn and they completely mowed down the lilac. Will it grow back or it's a lost cause? There is nothing left.
I live in the Bay Area of California. In the past 11 years my lilac has never blossomed in December. Yet here we are December 4 and it’s blooming like it does and did every May. Is this as unusual as I think?
Here it is December 9. We live in Zone 9. Sierra Nevada foothills. My lilac has many small/tiny blooms. The one growing beside it, has no blossoms?

So, for the last 15 years, my lilacs have been fine. Some are 40 years old! However, this summer, our neighbor across the street noticed that they seem to be dying. All the leaves are gone but the stems are still pliable. How do we know if it's dead? What can we do to revive old lilacs? Thank you.
