Miss Kim Lilac, also known as Kim Lilac Syringa pubescens, is a deciduous shrub that's originally native to Korea but has grown popular all over the world. That's mainly because of Miss Kim Lilac's fragrant blooms of lavender-pink flowers against its green foliage. The spring blooms are often repeated in the fall.
The wonderful fragrance of the spring blooms has a distinct spicy-sweet tinge that attracts pollinators like butterflies and hummingbirds. And the dense dark green foliage of Miss Kim Lilac turns a deep red in the fall, making a massive display with its fall color.
As a smaller variety of Korean Lilac, Miss Kim Lilac reaches a maximum height of 6-8 feet tall with a rounded habit. The elegant shrub makes a perfect plant for mixed borders or as a low hedge.
As for maintenance, this shrub needs little more than good air circulation, full sun, and well-drained soil. It can even tolerate partial shade, but with too much shade, it won't flower with its incredible blooms and it'll have a smaller-than-usual growth rate.
It is relatively disease and pest resistant, especially against the dreadful powdery mildew. It doesn't necessarily need pruning, but occasional pruning is recommended to remove dead or damaged branches and to encourage new growth.
