I know this is a very late post, but I grow several kinds of lilacs:
--- 4 cultivars of Syringa vulgaris
--- S. wolfii
--- S. reticulata
--- S. pinnatifolia (not S. laciniata)
--- S. x hyacintha
--- S. x persica
Verticillium wilt is native here (and in my soil). Beauty of Moscow is the only lilac that is affected.
