How to grow it

STRATIFICATION: Open your Seeds In A Cup kit. Place lilac seeds in the provided moistened growing medium in a sealed bag. Refrigerate at 33-41°F (1-5°C) for 40-60 days.

PLANTING: After stratification, fill your Seeds In A Cup container with the provided growing medium. Plant seeds ¼ inch deep. Water gently. Place in a bright location (65-70°F) or under a grow light for 14-16 hours/day. Germination occurs in 14-30 days.

SEEDLING CARE: Lilac seedlings grow at a moderate pace. When 4-6 inches tall, transplant to a larger pot. Plant outdoors in USDA Zones 3-7 in spring. Full sun is essential for flowering — at least 6 hours of direct sun. Lilacs prefer slightly alkaline soil (pH 6.5-7.0). Be patient — seed-grown lilacs may take 3-5 years to produce their first fragrant blooms.
