Lilac bushes are not native to the United States, they are native to Europe and were brought to the US by settlers. Lilacs can grow in most types of soil, but they do best in soil that is neutral to a bit acidic.

True lilacs belong to the genus Syringa, and are native to the Old World from Southeastern Europe to Eastern Asia. They are not native to the New World, although the Common Lilac (Syringa vulgaris) is sometimes found naturalized in the United States.
