Take semi ripe cuttings mid or late summer, for nodule cutting, just below a node. Remove side shoots, nodule cuttings should be 3/4 inches long. Dip base into rooting hormone, insert into standard cutting compost, if more than one cutting, ensure leaves do not touch. Place in propagating case at 21C. Shade from sun. Once rooted apply liquid fertilizer every two weeks

The best time to do this is right after they stop blooming. If the plant is large, you usually will see small runners on the grown around them, I have dug them up and replanted. Plus always remember when pruning a lilac bush, wait till its done blooming. Also it might take a yr or so before a new plant takes hold.
