The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!

Syringa patula 'Miss Kim'
Choose Miss Kim Lilac if you want a smaller lilac with strong spring fragrance near a patio or entry. The tradeoff: it is mainly a spring show, so do not use it where you need long bloom or privacy.
Buy This If
- You want classic lilac scent.
- You have room for spread.
- You can prune after bloom.
Skip This If
- You need evergreen screening.
- The site stays wet.
- You expect repeat bloom.
PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | The spring bloom and spicy scent carry a front planting, but the shrub is quieter after flowering. |
| Growth Rate | B | It fills in at a steady pace without becoming a quick privacy plant. |
| Maintenance | B | Plan on light pruning after bloom and avoid shearing, which cuts off next year's flower buds. |
| Deer Resistance | B+ | Deer tend to leave this alone, though hungry deer may sample it where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | B- | It is smaller than Common Purple Lilac, but it still needs room to spread. |
| Screening Value | C- | It is deciduous and not dense enough for dependable privacy. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Miss Kim Lilac near a walkway, patio, or entry where the spring fragrance matters. Give it breathing room, then prune lightly right after bloom rather than shaping it later in summer.

Customers Usually Ask
Will it rebloom?
No, plan on one main spring bloom.
Can I keep it small?
Somewhat, but prune after bloom and do not force it into a tight ball.
Where should I plant it?
Use it where scent can be noticed and air can move; avoid damp, shaded sites.
