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

even more plentiful when it
is planted in full sun.

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
