Anyone else have a lilac bush?

Apparently I have a lilac bush growing in a pot. With this cooler weather and my constant watering it suddenly seems healthy, full of leaves.
Had to search online to see what this woody plant with double side sandpaper leaves with ruffled edges is, decided it is a purple lilac as I am a sucker for vines or vine-like flowering plants. I probably bought it at the (mostly native?) nursery that sold out its stock 6 months ago.
Advice on line seems against survival of lilacs in zone 8-10. Not much info on GW except in a 2008 thread everyone agreed to "fergetit". Worse, my computer is dying and searching is excruciating (going to replace it soon).
Anyone?
