Syringa patula 'Miss Kim' 23W8 Lilac R3-
Syringa patula 'Miss Kim' 23W8 Lilac R3- (Meader, 1954, Korea) Manchurian Lilac, Mature plant size: 7x7ft., Icy Blue flowers, late spring, USDA Hardiness Zone 3, Michigan Bloom Week ISO WW21, In Garden Bed R3 for 11.7 YEARS (2). Planted in 2011.
Big Box item. Popular cultivar 'Miss Kim' was obtained from seed from Korea's Pouk Han Mountains in 1947 by E. M. Meader. Meader germinated the seed and selected Miss Kim. The seedling was named 'Miss Kim', Kim being a common name in Korea. Released in 1954. Planted in 2011. Trimmed to one main trunk. Syringa pubescens subsp. patula 'Miss Kim'.
Getting a little bigger than I had planned. I have cut it back over the years, but of course it grows back with vigor. I am considering cutting it back to the ground and letting it start over. I have several other Miss Kims, but this is by far the largest one. It must like the location. It is not far from the front door, so you do get a pleasant fragrance when coming or going.
