Looks like they split a few times while i winterized them in this box over this past season. coming back healthy tho. Id LOVE to send you them, but id have a request :) nothing big n fancy. Your the person with all so awesome amounts of irises right? Yea if i could pick some species and maybe get some bulblettes? ill take the small ones im not greedy :) in return you can have all the lilacs i have here. i think it should be 2-3 tho id have to check rooting

I have 3 healthy suckers I dug up from my Old Fashioned "purple" Lilac. All have good amount of roots. If interested please send mail to aprilstreasurechest@comcast.net because I sometimes lose track of my posts :) Hugs, April Included with this post is a link to a public Facebook folder where you can see pic of the plants in mention.... Here is a link that might be useful: Lilac Suckers

you know one of my traders pointed out that I didn't mention how large these plants are. They are 2 year old suckers and the height is anywhere from as high as my knee, to as high as my thigh, lol. How"s that for a description. I have to tape 2 of the priorty boxes together to mail them out. Thanks for letting me update and thank to everyone for the wonderful trades! Sue

old fashioned would imply.. its been around a hundred years or so ... and i doubt they would be grafted ... i have at least a dozen lilacs .. ALL WERE GOTTEN BY KNOCKING ON A DOOR AND ASKING IF I COULD DIG A SUCKER WHILE IN BLOOM... that is really the only time you can get EXACTLY what you want ... and no one has ever turned me down ... i then dig a 6 to 12 inch sucker ... with some little bit of root ... stick it in a one gallon pot with some old wet media .. just a few inches.. and the pot holds up the top part ...... and leave it on the north side of the house [bright but no sun] ... to grow roots.. until i can plant it in fall ... or in the case of the one in front of my house right now.. its been sitting there in about 3 inches of media for ... well.. it will be 3 years this spring at bloom time... lol .... i have moved it once in a while to insure it didnt root out the bottom ... i swear to God.. i will plant it when the ground thaws.. now that i have mocked myself piteously ... lol.. BTW... i rarely if ever remembered to water it ... you can barely kill these things ... as long as it has some root on it ... ken
