If I bought a lilac bush over ebay, do you think it would survive in Arizona?

Lilacs are my favorite flowers, but none grow here in Scottsdale, if planted some, would they survive? or is there another way to grow lilacs?

Where in Arizona. Phoenix is a bit hotter than Flagstaff, but in Tucson they do grow. Maybe not as nice as in Prescott, but I have seen them in Tucson. They need just a bit more water than the saguaro of course.

Reply:Almost anything will grow in the desert if you keep enough water on it- but does that mean you should? The Southwest is on the edge of a pretty big water crisis. There are a lot of great native and xeriscape plants that look great.





You live in a place unlike any other part of the country. Embrace the beauty. Go to the Desert Botanical Gardens in Papago Park, or take the drive to Boyce Thompson Arboretum by Superior, and fall in love with some local plants.
Reply:You can get any plant to grow anywhere with a little loving care... if it is hardy in your zone you shouldn%26#039;t have much of a problem...just water it well the first year or 2... or since your in arizona... whenever it needs it
Reply:If you want to buy a lilac from any source, you should first check what nurserymen say about its likelihood of surviving Arizona dryness and heat... Do you homework via Internet, first ... very easy to search... dozens of nurseries -- many in Arizona, no doubt -- have informative Web sites... ALSO, check Arizona extension service for advice...
Reply:I live near Prescott, Arizona and the lilacs really thrive here and are blooming right now.
Reply:I think NOT...
