As spring unfurls, so does this lilac's deep purple buds, revealing clusters of blooms that exude an enchanting fragrance. This compact, upright shrub also produces dense, green foliage that matures into a rich burgundy hue come autumn, adding to Miss Kim's allure. Drought resilient once rooted, it stands strong against deer as well as disease. It's a fuss-free plant for use in borders or as a charming, low hedge, and the flowers are wonderful in arrangements.
