Once it starts to bloom, how long does it bloom for (a few weeks? Only one week?)
we are in zone 4b and live on ridge which can be very windy would like a white lilac will it survive?
BEST ANSWER: Madame Lemoine White Lilac is considered very cold-hardy, so that is not an issue. Branches may break if the wind is strong enough, but that would be true with any tall flowering shrub. It is suited for your zone, so it would seem well worth whatever risk might be present. You can always stake it to provide extra support.

How fast do they grow?
BEST ANSWER: Lilac bushes grow about 1 foot per year when mature. Young lilacs grow much more rapidly, leveling off as they grow older. A fully matured bush of this variety will be about 8-10' tall and wide.

I live in zone 6b - what month should blooms start?
Can these lilacs be transplanted? I have several doing exceptionally well and would like to move them.
BEST ANSWER: Why not? Get all of the roots you can possibly get and water well and often
after transplanting. Cut back the tops to compensate for roots cut during the transplanting process.

how fast do you see blooms on the lemoine lilic bush ?
BEST ANSWER: Lilac plants need time to grow before they begin flowering. So, if you have a very young plant, it may not be mature enough to bloom. Most plants start blooming after three or four years but some may take as long as six or seven.

Your MADAME LEMOINE lilac mature height says 8 to 10 ft.
If pruned annually can you keep height 5 to 6 ft. tall & still get good flower production? Cliff Baker,

BEST ANSWER: We appreciate you reaching out to us. Cutting back a lilac will, of course, help to keep it a certain size, but pruning done properly can also encourage more flower growth as well. You should be able to prune this seasonally with no issues.

Beautiful and hearty lilac
I bought this lilac in honor of someone I had recently lost. He grew the most beautiful lilacs. He lived in England so getting a clipping to start a plant was impossible. This bush bloomed out beautifully this year. This was it's first year so I was not expecting a big show. Boy was I surprised. The blossoms were short but very full in diameter. They smell lovely. I recently move from So. California to Oregon so I am new at this. This lilac made me look like an expert.

Very healthy bushes
I bought two of these year before last in 2014 because an older one I have is so very fragrant. The bushes are very healthy and growing nicely, however we've not seen a single flower. Hoping for some next year.
