Lilac 'Miss Kim'
Lilac 'Miss Kim'
The Syringa Pubescens Subsp. Patula 'Miss Kim' - Miss Kim Lilac is another Korean variety apart from the Dwarf Korean Lilac. Small, compact and grows in a upright rounded shape with little to no maintenance needed. Korean lilacs bloom in late spring two weeks after most other French Lilacs leaving more time to enjoy their beauty and scent when both are present in your garden. Though smaller in size, blooms are showy flower clusters in a pale purple shade filling your garden with not only flowers to admire and fragrance to enjoy but pollinators and hummingbirds too. This lilac is both cold hardy and heat tolerant as well as disease resistant.
