Depends how far 'South'
Lilacs are not especially rock-hard to grow, but they require a climate that provides a winter chilling extent and will not bloom in mild winter areas.
The so call 'Descanso Hybrids' are reportedly able to thrive and bloom within frostfree areas, but we have tried several here surrounded by Florida and never got them to bloom. In reality they all succummed to the summer steam, even though they were planted where on earth they received some shade during the hottest periods of the morning.

Answers: If this is a reliable company, they will ship it to you at the right time to plant in your sector of the country. So you can order it immediately if you wish to do so.
