Best Answer

I have had a similar experience with a 3 ft lilac bush. It is (still alive and coming back!)

Rather than a lawnmower trim, it was pruned to about 6 inch height after a large

tree limb fell upon it and destroyed most of the branches. This occurred about two

years ago and now and is approx 2 ft in height. The new growth branches are spreading

naturally. (Zone 5 for your reference.)

How does a lavender plant reproduce?

While MOST flowering plants and shrubs give off seeds ... one has to be SUPER-DILIGENT to find them on a lilac bush. The best way to find Lilac bushes is to either take hard-wood cuttings from old growth or TRY to take out a "sucker" plant from a main plant? It's not easy, but with careful digging, one CAN get a "sucker" plant that might survive, depending on how you treat it, where you live, the humidity, the soil ... you name it!!


What do you feed lilac bushes?

See: http://www.gardenaction.co.uk/plantfinder/lilac-syringa_2.asp April: Feed your Lilac Tree. Scatter a couple of handfuls of bonemeal around (but not touching) the base of the plant and cover with a mulch of well-rotted compost.
