Flower buds on early blooming varieties can be damaged by a late freeze. As lilacs mature, they can grow leggy and overgrown, with little foliage toward the bottom of the shrub. When this happens it may be necessary for a complete rejuvenation by pruning them to within 12 inches of the ground.
This should be done in late winter when the shrubs are dormant. Applying nitrogen can lead to the growth of a lot of vegetation, but with few flowers. There is another trick, however, that you can try to speed up flowering on lilacs. The time to try this trick is when your lilacs are in a period of dormancy which occurs from late fall to early spring :.

I use the free version of Plant Snap. According to this I have been doing everything right and still won't bloom. Plenty of new growth every year 10 ft tall 4 ft across been planted for 7 years. Never bloomed. Sorry that has been the case. Time to try another and give this one to a friend who may want to try it in their garden.
Or try relocating it in your garden if you wish to try again. I don't blame you if you want to try something else though. If a plant doesn't do well for me, I give it the boot! I bought a Miss Kim lilac bush 3 years ago, it had blooms all over. The following year it had no blooms but plenty of leaves, and the year after that it had no leaves at all It gets around hours of sun per day in the growing months and it gets enough water.
I don't have a clue what I am doing wrong!! How can I tell if it is dead and pull it? To see if it is still alive just scrape a branch, if you see green it is still alive, if not then you know that branch is dead.
Or you can bend the branch to see if it breaks, if it is alive it should just bend without snapping off. Where are you? Wondering if all this would help in Maine? Also, any thoughts on getting lupine started and helping our peonies? Thanks in advance!! I was given several lilac suckers at least years ago. I get blooms at most, though it has grown into a huge bush. It is on the southwest side of the house, beside the garage, and gets plenty of sun.
I even tried bonemeal. This year it has put out several suckers. So disappointed! Do not prune any others at all and see if that helps. Or move it, sometimes location makes a huge difference. Did it bloom well for the folks that gave you the suckers? I'm Pamela, author of Flower Patch Farmhouse.
