Syringa pubescens subsp. patula \'Miss Kim\' stands out for its profusion of sweetly scented, mauve-pink flowers in May and June. The blooms are delicate and smaller than the commonly seen Syringa vulgaris varieties, giving it a more elegant appearance. In autumn, the heart shaped foliage of the Manchurian Lilac turns to rich shades of plum and burgundy.This lovely, slow growing, deciduous shrub has an upright, rounded habit that makes a superb specimen shrub in mixed borders and containers.
