Miss Kim Lilac (Syringa pubescens subsp. patula 'Miss Kim') is a deciduous shrub that is known for its stunning lavender-blue flowers and spicy fragrance. It is a smaller variety of lilac, growing to a height of around 6-8 feet and a width of 5-7 feet.

Miss Kim Lilac blooms later than most lilac varieties, usually in late spring or early summer, and the flowers last for several weeks. The foliage is also attractive, with leaves that are a bluish-green color in the summer, turning to a burgundy-red color in the fall.

Miss Kim Lilac is easy to grow and requires minimal maintenance. It prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. It is also tolerant of drought and urban conditions, making it a great choice for city gardens.

Overall, Miss Kim Lilac is a beautiful and low-maintenance shrub that adds color, fragrance, and interest to any garden.

This upright, compact lilac blooms later than others, extending the season with deep purple buds that reveal clusters of highly fragrant, lavender-blue flowers. Foliage is burgundy-tinged in fall. Hardy, yet performs in southern regions, with excellent powdery mildew resistance. Great for border accent or mass planting. Deciduous.

Average Size at Maturity Slow growing; reaches 6 to 8 ft. tall and wide, or more with age.
