About the Lilac - Korean
:
The Dwarf Korean Lilac, Syringa meyeri 'palibin',
is known as a compact but spreading, small-foliaged
Lilac with showy late May lavender-purple flowers
that are spread over the entire shrub canopy.This
deciduous shrub is especially urban tolerant. It is
the most common cultivar of the species, valued for
its even more compact habit (to 4-6”).
Syringa translates from the Greek as "pipe", in
reference to the hollow stems. Meyeri is named after
F.N. Meyer, who introduced this species to the
United States from Northern China in the early 20th
century. It is widely used as a foundation, group
planting, informal or formal hedge, or specimen
shrub.
