Miss Kim Lilac

About this plant

Miss Kim Lilac (Syringa pubescens subsp. patula 'Miss Kim') is a premium deciduous shrub celebrated for its stunning fragrant flowers and tidy growth habit. Emerging in late spring, clusters of lavender-purple buds unfurl into a spectacular display of highly perfumed, pale lilac blossoms that mature to a pristine white, filling your garden with an enchanting aroma. Unlike traditional lilacs, 'Miss Kim' maintains a more compact and rounded form, making it an excellent choice for smaller gardens, foundation plantings, or as a vibrant accent. Its deep green foliage provides a handsome backdrop to the floral show and turns an attractive burgundy or purple in autumn, adding seasonal interest to your landscape. This robust and adaptable shrub is also notably resistant to powdery mildew, a common issue with other lilac varieties, ensuring a healthy and beautiful plant throughout the growing season. Easy to care for and highly rewarding, 'Miss Kim' Lilac is a timeless addition to any garden seeking beauty and fragrance.

Care & maintenance

Requires minimal pruning; remove spent flower clusters after blooming to encourage future growth and maintain a neat appearance. Prune for shape in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. Fertilize in spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer. Protect from strong winds.
