Happy lilacs seem to be rare around here, but I have a 75 year old lilac on
the south-east side of my house. It is bushy and blooms, but looks like it
could have been better cared for during the 74 years before I met it.
good luck,
Hannah

Do lilacs grow well down here or does the heat make them unhappy during
the summer? What other similarly sized flowering things (or non-flowering,
for variety) grow well?
