About the Lilac - Miss
Kim :
The Lilac' Miss Kim', Syringa patula 'Miss Kim',
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
