Discover: Miss Kim Lilacs

Syringa pubescens subsp. patula 'Miss Kim'

USDA Hardiness Zone: 4 - 8

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.
