When we bought this house there was a wonderful lilac hedge out front, and I love lilacs, for the flowers and fragrance and all, but these are the old variety, and the suckers are driving me crazy! Crying They are coming up everywhere, in my flower beds, lawn, and pretty much everywhere I don't want them. Is there a way to get rid of these suckers? I keep trying to pull them and dig them, but they just come back of course. I hate to take out whole thing, as I really do like the lilacs, and it's well established and it would take years in our zones to get anything I would replace them with established. What can I do? I would love ideas and suggestions please!
