Are you located in a northern region? Lilacs grow beautifully in colder
climates.


No, I am located in 7a.


I lived on Long Island in zone 7a and I'd consider that pretty much a northern
region. Where do you live in 7a which is not a northern region? If it's south
of the Mason Dixon line, lilacs may not perform well for you as they require a
certain amount of chill hours to develop.
