Miss
Kim',
Syringa

'Miss
Kim',
is a
very
popular
shrub.

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
