MISS KIM LILAC 3gal

The Miss Kim Lilac is a delightful choice for gardeners in Zones 7 and 8 who want that nostalgic lilac fragrance but have limited space. Reaching a tidy 4 to 5 feet tall and wide, this compact Korean Lilac fits perfectly in smaller garden beds or as a low, fragrant hedge. In late spring, it bursts into clusters of icy-blue to lavender flowers that perfume the entire yard. Unlike the common lilac, Miss Kim’s foliage turns a beautiful burgundy-red in the fall, providing extra seasonal interest. It is also remarkably hardy and naturally deer and rabbit resistant, so your blooms stay on the bush where they belong.

To ensure the most fragrant flowers, plant your Miss Kim in full sun. I recommend blending Watters Premium Mulch with your garden’s native soil to help retain moisture while ensuring the roots can breathe. For a healthy boost of energy, mix in 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food at planting time. This organic nourishment helps establish a strong root system, ensuring your lilac returns with more vigor and scent every year.
