- 4 Ways to Grow Lilacs! We were able to get our hands on established Lilac bushes and get a few cuttings that we are showing multiple ways to grow. We show a direct to soil type planting with the cutting, a plastic bag growing experiment with the cuttings. We also ordered a package of Miss Kim Lilac Tree seeds which take much longer to establish. We did a direct seed approach with soil. We also used the plastic bag to start the germination process.

Where is the updates? Id like to hear about the good, bad, and the ugly if your tests!
My parents did to. They had common purple. I bought seeds to because I want to grow them on my property to get the smell. Bring back the memories..
Yes! Awesome! It truly does bring back the memories. Thanks for watching!
How cool!! Thanks for sharing 🥰 they’re so pretty
Thank you for watching!

Thank you for watching!
nice information.. Great way to Grow Lilac Flowers..
Thank you for watching!
I love lilacs so much! There are my absolute favorites, but I totally failed in propagating them. Hopefully this method will help me get some success this year!
Thank you Dani!
My mother grew lilac bushes into lilac trees 😅 her rhodedendrons are also huge (taller than our one story home) thanks to the chicken poop she would sweep off the porch into the flower beds ( they took "free range" a little too far 😂 )
You're going to have so many beautiful lilacs!
Thank you! We hope so! Appreciate your support!
We love lilacs. We might reintroduce some on the farm. We've got some but they are way overgrown. Thanks for sharing all this info! Cheers!
Thank you so much for watching! I wish we had some mature Lilacs on the farm!!
Love lilacs! My friend in BC Canada made lilac syrup. I love the smell also. We get them but not too many by our garage. Loved this. Love you are doing something you love and also incorporating it into your farm and products. Great info about propagation. I need to do this with ours. You’re inspiring me!
That is awesome! Definitely going to experiment a bit with it! Thank you so much for your continued support and encouragement! We appreciate it more than you know!
Awesome lilac video, they are beautiful flowers 😇 indeed.
Thank you so much!
@@MadAcreFarms You’re welcome!
No I didn’t no that wow that is great thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching!
She said "Mmmm!" 😂
Great video. 😎
Thank you for watching!!
I love lilacs! I bought two plants last year - they are supposed to be tolerant of cold and drought AND clay soil - which I have all 3. So I planted them...they didn't really go - which I am sure is a soil issue and am thinking I'll dig them up and fix that this year. But, I'm anxiously waiting to see if they grow back this year! 😊👍💗 Thank you for sharing - if they are dead I'll have to buy more!
They are pretty hardy in our zone. I hope they grow back for you!! Appreciate you watching!
I've learned a bit about them . Lilacs need a little help initially . In our area where I planted in clay I just amended the soil around the
"Newbies " to start them out well . Lilacs will SEEK OUT A WATER SOURCE ONCE THEIR ROOT SYSTEM GETS STARTED .
I learned the hard way !
Water well at the base slowly .
Then leave it alone for a few days . Water only if needed .
Best to You .!
Great job on thr video. That's how I first started my seeds as well. The paper bag method lol
Awesome!! Trying anyway we can!! Hoping it will eventually get us the much needed wind break on this property without breaking the bank! Thank you for watching!
@@MadAcreFarms I hear ya. We need to put something on our south facing area
I had to google what lilac’s look like. Wow, in flower they are amazing. Thanks for sharing your information🍺🍺
Pretty cool flower! You are awesome! Thank you for watching!
Thank you for taking the time to put together this video on Lilac propagating! It popped up as I was scrolling through UA-cam on this topic. I just pushed the subscribe button. 🙂 We live on a hundred some year old fixer-upper acreage ourselves. Just noticed the Lilac bush that has been here since day one, is on its way out..wanted to try and get some new ones started before it's too late. Just curious, it's a year later now, what would you say was your most successful/ easiest way to get those started after the fact... Thanks! DM
I love lilacs and was giving one as a wedding present. My husband had to haul it home 69 miles from my old neighbor where I lived before we got married and he planted it in 90f weather in Sandy soil. We thought it was going to die but it’s still going 6 years later!
That is such an awesome story!! Lilacs are so strong! Thank you so much for watching!
Good demonstration. The lilacs will provide a good windbreak for ya in addition to the nice scent.👍
Thank you! We are hoping they do the trick! Thank you for watching!
do you have an update on where the window worked to produce a root system? I'm trying to plant lilacs on my property but can only get ahold of cuttings. I did buy some Miss Kim bushes but I really want the bigger lilac bushes.
I love Lilacs! My Aunt had a couple of bushes in her front yard on the farm. Loved the smell. That was in Missouri. I live in CA now, so didn't know if I could grow here, would love to try though.
That is awesome! I was just reading about different varieties that don’t require a winter chill! You might be able to grow in your zone with the right variety! Thank you so much for watching!
❣️ Enjoyed this very informative and easily demonstrated your expertise in lilacs . I have 2 Boomerang Double Blooming Lilacs ( PW)
I live in zone 5 . I don't have a clue as to how to collect the seeds ?
Soil is alkaline , but, good soil .
I can't find any updates on your seeds , bare root to the sun also . Same Root hormone .
Have I missed updates along the way ?
Thank you for your long awaited Lilac video !
Thank you! We have not had a chance to do an update video just yet. We had the most success with cuttings. Recommend you grab a few cuttings from new growth. One of our friends was able to get a few suckers from hers that already had a root system started and planted those right into the ground and they took! Good luck!
I grew it in zone 5a, but here in zone 8b I haven't had much luck. I should try it one more time.
They seem to do pretty well here! I think it is because the variety we use like some winter chill. I think there are other varieties you can get that don’t necessarily need that I just looked up a variety that does well and looks like The Palibin Korean Lilac is popular in your zone. Thank you for watching!
Is it necessary to put the seeds in the refrigerator for a time prior to the damp towel in the baggy method?
Im here cuz I want lilacs everywhere on my farm. As shade, wind break, snow drift breaks, astherics, etc. Honey bees arent excited about lilac as pollen or nector but bumbles LOVE them. That said, infusing honey with lilac is so good!! ❤. Thanks for this video.
Thank you for watching! Yes to all of the above! We will do an update video in the summer and show you what we are doing with ours! The seeds take too long highly recommend propagating or finding a donor plant you can get suckers from. We will be sure to share more! Take care 😀
So, was putting the cuttings in the plastic bag worth it? 😀 Did it root faster? I would really like to find out! Is there a follow-up video? Thanks!
Lilacs are my fav flower. I have 12 new leafy cuttings just from last week foraging. love this Video! lactulose from the lilac is a stool softener :P Cant wait to see how they do. I think its so cool we are both propagating Lilac! Did you ever get elderberry cuttings?
You are a wealth of knowledge Jilly!! We have a handful of elderberry bushes that we located but haven’t found one yet to get cuttings. We are thinking we might have one on our property that is established but not sure yet if the bush is actually elderberry so now trying to figure that one out! Thank you for watching!
I love lilacs, too. My mom just ripped hers out last year. I wish I'd gotten cuttings before she did. I didn't know. 😭😭 one was purple and pink and smelled like fruit loops (i LOVE the smell of fruit loops). I have 6 suspected lilac plants on my property and I hope they are.
The flowers are very good candied.
I bet those lilacs were awesome that your mom had!! Love fruit loops!! It’s starting to make sense now why I love lilacs so much now! 😂 hope those turn out to be lilacs on your property! Otherwise you may have to make a trip to Mad Acre Farms and we will hook you up!
Is there a follow up video to show whether the roots grew on your cuttings for successful propagation? Thank you!!
Hi there! They unfortunately did not take root. We found that you get better results when the tree is dormant. We are trying it again on our cherry tree due to a limb falling. The same steps are being followed. Keeping our fingers crossed! Take care!
Well, how did they do?
Jelly.. I want to make.jelly.. Mmmmm
😆 🤣 😋👌
Right on!!
can you root in water?? without the root hormone?
You can absolutely try! Just depends on how healthy the cutting is but it could work. Just make sure you have clean water
Y'all are soo cute!
Thank you!
I am in South Carolina and would love to grow these but I have not seen any around here. I’m sure someone has them. Any suggestions on type for this area? I also had these when we lived in PA and loved the smell…. Such memories! Thank you for sharing 😊
Thank you for watching! They definitely like the winter chill! Looking at your area there are some hybrids that don’t necessarily need the chill. Maybe look into Lavender Lady? Thank you for watching!
I love lilacs too .. I cried the day the new neighbor whacked his down ... with out knowing what it was ... question ... is it true that they actually take several years growing before they will bloom?
They are such a cool plant! Yes the seeds will take some time but hoping these cuttings take off sooner than later for us!
Please send me an update ok ?
❤ Your Demonstrstion.
Simply put .
I never dreamed of a red Lilac ! That would look beautiful planted near my home .
Thank you ❤
Zone 5-5a now .
P S ; fyi Deer Will Eat Lilacs if they're hungry . Not as redistant .
I sent a request , maybe you canhelp or direct me to some . Time is short . I must do something or I will lose the rose bush an have lost dark pink Tall Phlox and have Pink / purple left .
Thank you so much !
