" My mom has a lilac bush she loves, but she is planning on moving from New York to Houston. Can lilacs grow in Texas, or should she just leave it behind?  Marie Rake  Dear Marie,  Although I appreciate your mom wanting to transplant a sentimental favorite to her new home, I am afraid this probably won&amp;#039;t be a successful relocation. Most common lilacs (members of the Syringa vulgaris clan) require a considerable cold period during the winter and don&amp;#039;t do well south of Zone 7. Instead, have your mom try to purchase locally some of the new introductions called &amp;#039;Descanso&amp;#039; hybrids, which can reportedly tolerate the warmer temperatures of the South.
