When do you transplant lilacs?
Lilacs can be successfully transplanted just about any time of the year. The only period of risk is from mid-May to mid-July. No, you do not need to wait for the leaves to fall. Here are some guidelines to transplanting: http://hgic.clemson.edu/factsheets/HGIC1...
Reply:No. I have moved mine early in the spring when the ground is just soft enough to dig but past frost. But usually I wait until early fall then they are done blooming but not in the hibernating cycle yet.


I%26#039;ve also moved one with a bloom on it and it kept blooming all the way thru the season. The key part is to give it enough water until the roots grab on their own early on. You don%26#039;t need to worry about that as much in the fall as its not needing as much water now.
