Miss Kim Dwarf Lilac

Miss Kim dwarf lilac is a smaller shrub than common lilac. It also blooms later and its leaves have a beautiful color in fall.

In late spring, it has long panicles of sweetly scented lavender flowers that burst from purple buds. The small leaves are oval and dark green, sometimes showing a burgundy fall color. It is an excellent choice where a medium-sized shrub is desired.
