How long does it take lilac and beauty bush to bloom if they were grown from seed?

I have both of them, but I bought each and I would guess at least a few years depending on the amt of sun, water and fert that they get.

I've grown Korean beautybush from seed and as I recall it took about three years. I suspect the native one would be about the same. Can't tell you about lilacs other than the Asian tree species (S. pekinensis, S. reticulata) which take several years.

Lilacs can be 10-15 years (tho' sometimes a bit less)

I think the southern heat-tolerent bred ones bloom much faster-like Miss Kim etc
