Syringa patula 'Miss Kim' commonly known as
Miss Kim Lilac is a very popular shrub. It is thought by many to be the
number one Lilac in the Midwestern United States. The Miss Kim Lilac is
compact and upright-rounded in form. It has an abundance of fragrant
blossoms in spring that are dark lavender-pink in bud and fade to a very
soft lavender-pink when fully opened. The blossoms are even more
plentiful when it is planted in full sun. Miss Kim has the best fall
color of any Lilac, a reddish purple. Compact and upright-rounded in
form, it slowly grows to five feet tall and wide. This shrub is
resistant to powdery mildew, but suffers under prolonged drought
conditions, when it may drop many of its leaves. The Miss Kim Lilac
makes a wonderful shrub for foundation plantings. |
