Lilacs do grow well in the frozen north. It is a large plant for pots.
The main reason for people wanting the plant is for the sweet oder the
plant produces. The best place for Lilacs are next to outside screened
windows so the nice scent can be sent through the home during summer.
I wound not put them next to a porch or patio where people sit because
nice smelling plants also attract all kinds of insects.

I've never seen lilac growing in a container, even the smaller types
grow too large, and I doubt they would survive a hard freeze out of
the ground. I planted a lilac bush this spring to help soften one of
my utility poles, this one:
