Lilac bushes?

I bought a lilac bush at a nursery the other day. It%26#039;s not quite spring yet but the weather has been very nice here in Virginia; however, it%26#039;s fluctuated so much the past few months that it may very well get cold again. My question is: is it dangerous to plant my lilac bush right now? If I plant it and it drops to freezing, will the ruin the bush or the chances of it blooming this spring? I know it%26#039;s a perennial bush and that it won%26#039;t really %26quot;die%26quot;...i want it to bloom this year tho..Please help me so I don%26#039;t do the wrong thing

Lilac bushes?
Go ahead and plant it.





I transplanted some lilaces (Just too big a clump!) back in the fall. Barely even coverd the roots with soil. Thye are leafing out nicely. Its been warm a while, and now more snow and cold here (SoCal). I don%26#039;t think the cold will bother them at all.





Do plant them well, with a nice layer, 2 or 3 inches, of mulch. They will do fine.





They should bloom, if they have buds. Lilacs bloom of old wood. The buds were set last fall. So unless it is a couple years old it may not bloom anyway. Or if the tips were pruned off it won%26#039;t have buds. But usually there are ready to go.
Reply:I think that as long as it is in a sunny location it will be okay. As for it blooming this spring it would be best if the buds are trimmed off so that it can get Strong roots. That way it will be strong and more beautiful next year.
Reply:If a newly planted bush freezes the bush will die, I am sure covering it would help.


Also Lilacs never bloom the first year you plant them, and can take up to 3 years. They are very tempermental bushes.


I believe you are supposed to plant them in the spring, like end of April.Water frequently and be very careful with the roots.
Reply:I would plant it in a sunny location, if your weatherman says frost then cover with a cotton sheet, do not use plastic as that makes it freeze more
