Will My lilac bloom?

I planted it about three years ago. there are tiny buds on it, but I have seen other lilacs in full bloom in my area.

If there are buds, it will bloom. Different varieties bloom at different times. I have 7 in my yard, and 1 is in full bloom. It also depends on the amount of sun it gets!
Reply:Lilacs are quite fussy, and may take many years to start flowering. Make sure it has plenty air circulating round it -- they hate to be crowded. They also need plenty of sun. Lilacs are susceptible to powdery mildew -- check the leaves for grayish patches. This is a sure sign of lack of sun and of crowding. Cut off any affected branches.
