If this is a reliable company, they will ship it to you at the right time to plant in your part of the country. So you can order it now if you wish to do so.
Reply:Spring is the best time to transplant lilacs. They do not transplant well in hot, dry weather as in the summer, and need time to establish themselves before winter comes. You could order them and ask them to ship them to you when early spring time comes. Many good companies ship when it is right for your area to plant things.
Reply:Order now. as soon as you receive them, plant them. That will give the roots a chance to develop before the warm weather hits.





As a general rule you will need to add lots of lime to the soil to encourage bloom. (that is in the south)

Lilacs are not especially hard to grow, but they require a climate that provides a winter chilling period and will not bloom in mild winter areas.





The so called %26#039;Descanso Hybrids%26#039; are reportedly able to thrive and bloom in frostfree areas, but we have tried several here in Florida and never got them to bloom. In fact they all succummed to the summer heat, even though they were planted where they received some shade during the hottest periods of the day.
