Lilacs are not long lasting cut flowers, however you can improve their shelf life. Bring in the cut stems and re-cut the stems while immersing the bottom tip in a bowl of soapy water. This help reduce the surface friction and get the stem taking up water again.
They have a tough woody stem. Cut them before they are in full bloom. They will continue to open after cut. Bang up the bottom of the stem with a hammer or mallet. You don't want to destroy it, just fray it. This allows the stem to soak up more water. 1/2 Teaspoon sugar added to the water will help also.
