Add classic lilac fragrance and reliable spring bloom to your landscape with Syringa patula 'Miss Kim' (Manchurian Lilac 'Miss Kim'). This compact, upright shrub produces dense clusters of sweetly fragrant, lavender-to-ice-blue flowers in late spring. After bloom, its dark green foliage provides a clean backdrop for borders and foundation plantings, then often turns burgundy-red in fall for an extra season of color.

Plant your lilac where it can receive full sun for maximum flowering, though it will also grow in part shade. Give it well-drained soil and avoid crowding so air can move through the branches. Water regularly during establishment; once rooted, it is generally tolerant of typical garden conditions when the soil is not constantly soggy.

At maturity, 'Miss Kim' typically reaches about 72-84 inches tall, with a rounded to oval form that works well as a specimen, in a mixed shrub border, or in small groups as a lightly fragrant screen. Prune immediately after flowering if you want to shape the plant, since next year's flower buds form soon after bloom on older wood.

For the strongest performance, keep weeds and grass back from the base, mulch lightly to moderate soil moisture, and site it where cold winters can help support consistent flowering. Its fragrant blooms also make excellent cut flowers for bringing spring scent indoors.
