Lilac Syringa Miss Kim Potted Plant

Lilac 'Miss Kim' - Experience the timeless beauty of lilacs in a more manageable size. 'Miss Kim' is a late-blooming variety that extends the lilac season after common varieties have finished. Its elegant, upright habit reaches only 4–6 feet, making it perfect for foundation plantings or low privacy hedges. Unlike many other lilacs, 'Miss Kim' boasts exceptional resistance to powdery mildew, keeping its heart-shaped leaves clean and green all summer long. In the fall, the foliage transitions to a deep, striking wine-red, providing a rare late-season color display for a lilac.

• Flowers: Highly fragrant, pale lavender blossoms that emerge from dark purple buds in late spring.

• Fall Color: Unique for lilacs; foliage turns a beautiful burgundy-red in autumn.

• Growth: Slow-growing, upright, and compact; typically 4–6' tall and wide.

• Light: Full sun is required for best bloom production and disease resistance.

• Water: Average water needs; prefers consistent moisture but is quite drought-tolerant once established.

• Soil: Prefers well-drained, neutral to slightly alkaline soil.

• Hardiness: Extremely hardy; USDA Zones 3–8.

• Pro Tip: Prune immediately after flowering is finished to ensure next year's buds are set, and to maintain the desired shape and size.
