Grow a lilac tree/shrub?

how does one go about growing a lilic plant... were do the seeds come from? or do you have to do something with a branch to grow one? lol, im clueless with regards to this but am quite interested.

Grow a lilac tree/shrub?
Last year near the end of the year I noticed that the lilac flowers were dead and dried up but still on the tree. If you cut one of those off and turn it upside down you will see that they are seed pods with a lot of seeds. I suggest you take some potting soil and try to start the seeds in early spring. It will take about 4 or 5 years for the tree to get big enough for growing flowers.
Reply:Much faster than seed - mature plants will produce offshoots in the form of suckers out of the base and root system. These can be taken up and planted.
