apology accepted... as i said.. agree or disagree.. thats fine with me... .

i sort of presumed it was just a poor choice of words.. glad i came back to clear it up ....

i still think.. as much as i love lilac.. that you would be wasting too much space.. for a plant that blooms for about 8 days ... depending on ambient heat.. some years longer.. many years shorter .... and probably worse in your zone..

the cost benefit ratio is simply too much cost.. in this case.. floor space... not to mention mildew if you buy the wrong one..
