Lilac 'Miss Kim'

A mound forming, dense, medium shrub. Flowers have purple buds that open to pale mauve-blue, fragrant blooms.

An evergreen shrub. The new shoots have a purple hue.

Water to establish, then only if rainfall is low, they don’t like wet feet. Lilacs develop a deep root system and will become dry tolerant as they establish. Plant into well drained, loamy soil with a slightly alkaline PH is best for growth. Position Lilacs in a sunny location, they need at least six hours sun a day to flower well.

Fertilise annually with an all purpose fertiliser high in phosphorous to promote growth. Mulch annually with a well rotted cow or sheep manure with a hand full of blood and bone in winter. We have also heart it recommended a final covering of mushroom compost will sweeten the soil and keep the plant healthy and strong.

Prune lightly after flowering as required.
