    Growing & Maintenance Tips:

    This species of lilac produces suckers - new shoots that sprout from the base of the shrub, or from the roots. This is a very hardy shrub. Lilacs can withstand severely cold winters (even -35 degrees C) and in fact the species does not grow well in areas without significant frost in wintertime.
