Dwarf Korean Lilac an Attractive Shrub with Grace, Fragrance and BeautyThe Dwarf Korean Lilac - Syringa meyeri - is a hardy flowering shrub that adds grace, fragrance and beauty to a garden. It can be planted anywhere, as a border or even as border foreground. Its great attraction is the neatness of its stems and fragrant, lavender pink flowers. The plant was first noticed by Frank Meyer in a garden in China in 1909 and he sent its cuttings to America. Today, this plant carries Meyer’s name (Syringa meyeri), and can be seen growing in most American households. By the way... Do you know what reveals your house and landscape, enhances the setting, extends the hours of enjoyment, provides safety and more? Answer Here! The Korean Lilac is comparatively a small shrub, and grows up to a height of 4 to 5 feet, and an almost similar width. Its dark green foliage presents a beautiful contrast to its lavender pink blooms. When it blossoms the entire bush gets covered from top to bottom in lavender flowers. The peak blooming period is May-June but it flowers twice a year
extending up to late summer and early autumn. In autumn the foliage
turns bright yellow, in winter it sheds leaves but still this deciduous
delicate shrub looks attractive with its dark brown leafless stems.
The Korean Lilac flowers early and spreads its enchanting fragrance
all around. It is not susceptible to powdery mildew or lilac borers,
the bane of other lilacs, and is considered one of the most versatile
among flowering shrubs. Once planted, it will continue to grow even
without attention. More, it looks great even when it grows in the
wild. Related Landscape Articles
