When is the best time of year to plant lilac tree seed ? Should I start it inside?
Answers: Many lilacs are hybrids and seeds from them will not grow true to the parent plant. If you want to grow a lilac bush i.e. identical to the one you already enjoy, then you must propagate the plant via cuttings. Cuttings can be taken from unsullied growth in postponed spring.

Fall; and it does best surrounded by the East side of home. I had hear they liked shade, and never get any blooms for years...then, moved it to front of house...and it thrived! They love sunshine. Some types of lilacs do not bloom for first few years anyways. I own French lilac bush. If ya know anyone who has one, the bush have many stale shoots.....and you could start many seedling from these.
