my neighbors' lilac is about 20 years old and it has spread out about 4 1/2 feet in diameter.
it might have been a bit wider except for the fact that some of the runners are growing in the neighbors yard and he keeps cutting them down when he mows his lawn.
i took a few of them for my yard...from the mown over 1/2 they've grown to about 6 inches (in a months time). our weather has been a bit chilly - i expect it to grow more quickly once the truly warm weather (during the day and at night) sets in.
generally, i think they only grow about 2 feet at the most a year...i could be wrong on that tho.

I am going to plant the lilacs along the fence line... my question, is how far apart should I plant them.
And the impatient person in me wants to know, how much do they usually grow in a year?
