The secret I learned is that after cutting them, you must smash the end of the cut area with a hammer opening up the cut area so that they will take up the water.....worked like a dream. Hope this helps....hers lasted for several days and she told me that was the secret! They too are one of my favorite flowers, but we are inland in southern California where it is just too hot for them to grow.Tonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14478193869440072454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763730258323026627.post-45906611489827393412013-04-14T20:41:37.806-07:002013-04-14T20:41:37.806-07:00I love lilacs too.

I am okay with that because they were not very pretty, turning brown within a day or so of blooming and also sending up so many suckers through my garden.
