Description
Lilac Dwarf Korean is a stunning, compact lilac that delivers a breathtaking floral display while maintaining a tidy, manageable size. Its dense, rounded form is covered in magnificent clusters of fragrant, lavender-pink blooms in late spring, creating a refreshing splash of color. Unlike larger lilacs, this variety is perfect for smaller landscapes, borders, and foundation plantings. Its lush, deep green foliage remains attractive throughout the growing season, adding a satisfying textural contrast. With its long-lasting, highly fragrant flowers, this lilac is an inspiring addition to pathways and patios, where its refreshing scent can be fully enjoyed.
General Care
- Sunlight: Prefers full sun
- Watering: Once established, water occasionally, allowing soil to remain moderately moist but well-drained
- Mulching: Apply a 2-inch layer of mulch to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature
- Pruning: Prune immediately after flowering to maintain its shape and encourage next season’s blooms
With its rich fragrance, compact size, and beautiful floral display, Lilac Dwarf Korean is an elegant, low-maintenance choice for adding color, structure, and a fresh springtime presence to the landscape.
