Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images. Lilacs are old-fashioned garden shrubs most appreciated for their spectacular fragrant flowers. Many species and countless cultivars offer different sizes -- from 6-foot dwarf shrubs to 30-foot trees -- as well as flower colors, fragrances and bloom times.According to Ron Smith of North Dakota State University Extension, it takes two to three years before a young lilac produces its first blooms.ilacs do best in full sun and often take up quite a bit of space, so give them plenty of room. A reasonably fertile, well-drained garden loam with a neutral or slightly alkaline pH is ideal, though they'll generally do well anywhere except acidic soils or very heavy clay. Lilacs will drown in standing water.
