Dwarf Korean Lilac — Syringa meyeri 'Palibin'

Dwarf Korean Lilac (Syringa meyeri 'Palibin') is the finest compact lilac for smaller gardens — delivering all the irresistible fragrance and beautiful blooms of classic lilacs in a neat, well-behaved, mildew-resistant package that requires almost no care. In mid spring, the dense, mounded shrub is covered in abundant panicles of sweetly fragrant blush-pink flowers that open from rich purple buds — one of the most memorable and beloved floral fragrances in the garden. The glossy green foliage is attractive throughout the season, and the plant's highly resistant to powdery mildew, which commonly plagues older lilac varieties. A refined, trouble-free shrub that thrives in full to part sun with rich, moist, well-drained soils. Prune and deadhead promptly after bloom for the best flowering the following year. Hardy to Zone 4.

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Low Maintenance. No serious pests or diseases. Deadhead promptly after flowering to encourage the following year's bloom. Prune as needed immediately after spring flowering.
LANDSCAPE USES: Accents or Group Plantings, Borders, Foundation Plantings, Hedges, and Containers.

COMPANION PLANTS: Giant Hyssop, New Jersey Tea, Joe-Pye Weed
