Question
I would like to plant a lilac tree in a container in the front of my home. Facing NW. Which lilac? How big a container? Planting medium? Or am I just dreaming.

Answer
There may not be enough sun with that exposure to allow the lilac to bloom well. Should you decide to try, a Korean lilac such as Miss Kim will be the most successful. The container you plant in should be a minimum of 4" wider than the size you buy. You will want soil that drains readily. Sloat Potting soil will do the job.
