Is it possible to get a start from a lilac bush, how do I go about it?

Just dig up one of the runners. A runner is a plant that forms off the main plant. I have done this many many times. I even sell the runners. Just make sure and give it alot of water when transplanting.

If you have the time-- if you straight cut DOWN around the plantlet (there is a spade called a SHARP SHOOTER for digging narrow trenches) -- and wait a few weeks-- 6 is best-- the plant will put out new feeder roots (the spidery kind)-- so when you move the plant it doesn%26#039;t shock as much.


Works with every plant I%26#039;ve tried to move.


OH if you end up with one center growing branch-- cut the tip off ( termanil (sp) budding-- forces growth outward from the center.
Reply:yes, choose one of the small lilac saplings growing up around the large lilac bush.





Dig about a foot area around the sapling and then down. Make sure it has the spidery looking roots on it and plant it straight away and keep it watered.





You can get a start from most bushes this way.
Reply:You need to cut a piece from a branch, dip it rooting hormones, and plant in potting soil. You can find rooting hormones at plant nurseries.
Reply:The above answers are very good. Just be sure you are not dealing with a grafted lilac. Lilacs are grafted onto privet bush stock.
Reply:in the spring the bush will have little plants growing underneath, but i suggest buying one that is already growing from a nursery...that%26#039;s what i did
Reply:Dig under the bush, to the roots (just a small space) then dig up the roots. Transplant into soft soil %26amp; watch it grow!
