Hi Jenajd,
I'm sorry to say we can't grow the lilacs you know and love in TV.

University of California has been attempting to create some warm weather lilacs ( for zone 9) at Descanso Gardens, but they look pretty scraggly, and don't have the fragrance we love so. Some things are better left alone.

You'll fall in love with lots of stuff here, including Florida fauna!
