Miss Kim Lilac (Syringa pubescens subsp. patula 'Miss Kim') is a hardy, compact lilac prized for its sweetly fragrant, pale lavender flowers that bloom later than traditional varieties—extending the lilac season into late spring. This slow-growing shrub stays smaller and neater than common lilacs, making it ideal for borders, foundations, or small landscapes. Its dark green foliage turns a rich reddish-purple in fall, adding another layer of seasonal interest. Miss Kim is cold-hardy, mildew-resistant, and thrives in full sun with well-drained soil.
