Syringa patula 'Miss Kim' 24W20 12yo Lilac N3 (Meader, 1954, Korea) Manchurian Lilac, 7x7ft.@ Maturity, orchid-pink, Hardy to Zone 3, Garden N3 (SRC Lowes,) PLTD 2012.
Missouri Botanical Garden: 'Miss Kim' is a compact, upright cultivar which grows 4-7' tall with a similar spread. Lavender to ice blue, sweetly fragrant, single flowers are arranged in dense, terminal clusters (panicles to 3" long) which cover this shrub in May (St. Louis). Elliptic to ovate, dark green leaves (to 5" long) turn burgundy (often attractive) in autumn. A good selection for southern climates.
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. I planted this one in 2012.
