Last night I walked through the neighborhood and everyone else's lilacs were starting to blossom and smelled so wonderful. A few weeks ago I planted some miniature korean lilacs. They haven't blossomed yet. I kill everything I plant

they might not bloom at all this year!
(they might have already bloomed before you bought them too)

you know, trees take longer. If you planted a nut tree, you might have to wait 50 years!

I planted a bare root lilac in 1999. This was first year it bloomed.

I love lilacs!
We just transplanted 2 from a shaded area to an area that gets more sun with better soil. DH read that when transplanting (and I imagine this means also from a pot), it can take several years for them to bloom!
Fortunately, ours popped out a few blossoms, but not many. Hopefully, next year, the shrubs will be fuller and they'll produce more.
