I would recommend a fertilizer that has more staying power and is better balanced than Miracle-Gro. In my gardens I use Espoma fertilizers, and I have been very impressed with them. Most garden centers will stock their products, and I have seen them at Home Depot or Lowes. For Lilacs I would use Espoma Tree-Tone or Espoma Plant-Tone.
Regardless of what company you choose, make sure you avoid fertilizers that dramatically acidify the soil (Holly-Tone, Miracid, etc). Lilacs prefer soil that has a slightly basic or neutral pH.
I pasted a link to the Espoma website below.
Enjoy the Lilacs, they are a beautiful plant!
