Planting New Lilac Bushes

Question

I just got two lilacs bushes. I’m in New England (MA) and wanting to know if it’s too early to plant them. Should I wait or plant them now?

Answer 1

While in your zone, I would recommend spring planting, you may want to wait another couple weeks just in case another round of winter weather rolls in (unless you properly safeguard them).
