Syringa patula Miss Kim - Lilac

Syringa patula 'Miss Kim', also known as Syringa pubescens subsp. patula 'Miss Kim', is a small, compact and bushy Lilac with elegant and delicate panicles shaded with pale lilac, with an enchanting fragrance.

This small lilac forms a compact bush of about 1.5 m (4.9 ft) in height and width. Its almost horizontal branches bear deciduous leaves, which are glossy and of a tender green colour. In spring, beautiful panicles of flowers shaded with pale lilac bloom. The flowers are smaller and finer than traditional Lilacs but more abundant and equally fragrant. It is almost impossible to resist the desire to make a beautiful scented bouquet for the house.

Syringa patula 'Miss Kim' is a very easy plant to grow, if cultivated in the sun, in fresh and light soils. It tolerates partial shade and clayey, heavy and rich soils very well.

Its compact habit makes it perfect for small gardens and for those who have had the experience of a common Lilac with exuberant growth. It will suit any garden, regardless of its size, and can also bloom on terraces, as it behaves very well in pots as long as it is watered.
