I have Lilac from lots of differant people and none of them are flowering? What can I do. I've done lots of research but nothing works. I've had some some of them for 8 years.
Any suggestions would be tryed and welcomed.

One of my friends had the same problem and I mentioned it to my sister and she said, "If they are getting enough sun and not flowering I'll bet they are planted too deep. I had not heard this before but told my friend and she dug them and planted them a bit less deep and they flowered the following year. Who knew? Difficult to do if they are already large shrubs but it worked for her.
