Trees, Shrubs and Conifers: Lilacs for warm climates, 1 by Clare_CA

This is an old thread, but I grow lilacs here in Zone 10b. I have both the Descanso Garden hybrids and the regular ones. The Descanso Garden hybrids are often sold bareroot in the spring at our local Home Depot. They are 'Lavender Lady,' 'California Rose,' and 'Angel White.' I've also seen some different varieties in five-gallons at Home Depot including Syringa vulgaris ‘Nadezhda.' Some varieties will flower more willingly than others in warm climates. I bought two lilacs from Forestfarm several years ago, and they both flower every year for me. One of them is Syringa 'Krasavitsa Moskvy' (Beauty of Moscow), and the other I'm trying to obtain a name for. This is the 'Krasavitsa Moskvy' flowering now.
