Can lilacs be grown from cuttings?

Yes, lilacs can be grown from cuttings. Use a semi-soft (fairly new) twig. Cut just below the second set of leaves. Remove the lower leaves. Dip in rooting hormone. Put in damp potting soil and place container in a plastic bag. Put in a shady place. Keep damp until it develops roots. Good luck!

THEY MAY CONTINUE TO BLOOM UNTIL THEY DIE BUT I DONT THINK THAT THEY%26#039;LL MULTIPLY LIKE A SPIDER PLANT WOULD, JUST LIKE GLADIOLAS, THEY WILL CONTINUE TO BLOOM TILL THEY DIE AND THEN THATS IT. IRISES, ROSE BUSHES AND LILLIES AND THAT CAN THOUGH. IF THEY HAVE ROOTS OR BULBS THEN THEY MAY IF REPLANTED CORRECTLY--TRY IT--NOTHING TO LOSE REALLY.
Reply:Mac and Cindy are right. Willows are what aspirin comes from.
Reply:Yes, Cindy B is right on with a good answer. One thing to try if you have weeping willows available. A few fresh cuttings of willow branches in the jar along side of lilac cuttings in a jar of water will put roots on it faster than about anything ... just an option ... Cindy B has the conventional answer. Good luck, lilacs are great!
