Can lilac bushes grow from the seeds that are left after the blooms die?

or do you need to buy the tree from a shop. There are tons of seeds on the my lilac bush and would like to line my lot with more, if the seeds can be buried and can grow. I dead head my bushes every year and I always hated to just throw them if they were usable. Thanks for your answers in advance.

if all lilac comes from root like a certain un-named person here says then,,that would mean that every one growing in the world would have to be connected together and it would also mean that they would all have the same exact look in each and everyway.


Of course you can grow them from seed,simply plant them before the snow falls and don%26#039;t plant them to deep.Sometimes it helps if you let the seed dry out before you plant.My mother use to keep hers in an open jar to dry out and then planted in early spring.
Reply:in a word yes... what you want to do is bed box them to start them once they root then you can transplant them into larger containers or outside.





start the process with 1 inch square planters and a under the bed box... plant the seeds and water them place the planters on the inside lid of the box put a small amount of water in the lid place box on lid... light with floressant lights on regular cycle and watch them grow.
Reply:Yes but they have to be chilled to make them germinate.





I grew them from seed and got loads.
Reply:Yes - all seeds are pretty hearty
Reply:No lilac bushes come from roots, If u get a new shoot that comes up near the bush dig it up and plant some where Elise given time it will root it self in the spring..
