The Miss Kim Lilac is a compact, dwarf cultivar of the Korean Lilac species (Syringa patula). Growing6-8 feet tall and 4-6 feet wide, this deciduous shrub has a rounded, dense habit that makes it well-suited for smaller gardens and foundation plantings. In late spring, the Miss Kim Lilac produces an abundance of fragrant, lavender-pink flower panicles. The individual florets have a ruffled, semi-double appearance that gives the blooms a full, floral look. The flowers release the classic sweet, floral scent associated with lilacs. This lilac cultivar is notable for its excellent cold hardiness, with a USDA zone range of 3-8. It prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained, moist soil conditions. Minimal pruning is required to maintain the shrub's compact, rounded form. Deadheading spent blooms can encourage a lighter second flush of flowers later in the season. With its small stature, prolific blooming, and delightful fragrance, the Miss Kim Lilac is a wonderful choice for foundation plantings, low hedges, or mixed perennial borders. Its tidy habit, extended flowering, and adaptability to colder climates make it a versatile and long-lasting addition to the landscape.
