My wife waits until almost spring and just snips off small limbs about 5 to 6" long and plants them. A sharp pair of pruning sheers is the best thing so the cut is clean.

Lilacs are so vigorous that I've seen horticulture students stick a 3' twig into the ground as a stake for another plant, and it leafed out, rooted and grew! But do it in spring when the shrub is newly leafed out and actively growing - not now.

Experiment. Take a few cuttings, strip off lower leaves. Place some in clear containers of water, use root hormone on ends of others and put in potting soil.

Go to the "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki" and under "Lilac" , I am pretty sure, you will find something.
