Korean Lilac 'Miss Kim'
FamilyOleaceae
Syringa patula ‘Miss Kim’ is a compact Korean lilac valued for its fragrant blooms and suitability for small spaces. This deciduous shrub develops a dense, rounded habit, slightly wider than it is tall, making it ideal for borders, mass plantings, and planting near the house. In late spring, it produces highly fragrant pale lilac to lavender flower clusters, extending the season after common lilacs. Its lustrous dark green foliage offers excellent disease resistance and turns stunning reddish-purple hues in autumn. Very hardy and easy to care for, Syringa patula ‘Miss Kim’ prefers well-drained soil and a sunny exposure to ensure optimal flowering. It is an excellent choice for compact northern gardens.
