moving lilacs

doucanoe
15 years ago

I have three Beauty of Moscow lilacs, they are about 3 years old, and about 2-3 feet tall each.

I would like to move them to a different location where they'll get more sun.

Can I do that now or should I wait until fall?

They have never bloomed yet, and I don't think they will this year. Does that make a difference?

Thanks!

Linda
