Description

Finally, an improved version of garden classic 'Miss Kim' lilac! Baby Kim lilac has a more dwarf compact habit, darker purple blooms, and does not fade to white. It's also about half the size, naturally growing as a tidy and appealing little mound. Great fragrance, disease resistance, and landscape performance.

Soil

Prefers neutral to alkaline soils, but is fairly adaptable. Good drainage is imperative.

Pruning

Blooms on old and new wood - prune after spring bloom if desired. Doing so will delay rebloom but also encourages it.

Uses

Hedges; mixed borders; foundation plantings; specimen.

Growing Tips

While not necessary, a light trim after spring bloom neatens the plant's appearance by removing any seed heads that have formed.
