About soil condition, Miss Kim Lilac (Syringa patula) prefers well-drained soils with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH. It also tolerates clay soils as long as they are not waterlogged. Lilacs planted in heavy, wet soils are more susceptible to root rot and other problems.
Like the other lilacs, the Miss Kim Lilac (Syringa patula) shrub grows best with full sun. It will also tolerate partial shade, but may not bloom as profusely. This deciduous shrub is quite adaptable to different types of soil, as long as it is well-drained.
The temperature condition of the syringa patula miss kim is that it prefers cooler temperatures. It is native to Korea and China, and it was introduced to the United States in the late 19th century. The syringa patula miss kim is a deciduous shrub that typically grows to about 10 feet tall. It has dark green leaves and fragrant white flowers that bloom in early summer. The syringa patula miss kim is tolerant of a wide range of temperatures, but it does best in cooler temperatures. It will grow in full sun or partial shade, and it prefers moist, well-drained soil.
Ideal humidity condition for this plant is around 40%-60%. If the humidity gets too low, the plant will start to wilt and the leaves will turn brown and start to fall off. If the humidity is too high, the leaves will start to yellow and fall off.
Regarding fertilizer, this plant does best with a phosphate-heavy fertilizer in early spring. However, too much nitrogen will produce excess leaves and inhibit flowering. As far as the roots go, they are quite shallow and spread out, so be careful not to damage them when working around the plant.
Pruning is a vital part of keeping your Syringa patula Miss Kim healthy and looking its best. This shrub blooms on new wood, so pruning in late winter or early spring will encourage lots of new growth and a big, beautiful display of flowers come summer. If you want to control the size of your Miss Kim, prune it back hard in late winter or early spring, cutting back all the stems to about 6 inches.
Propagation of syringa patula 'Miss Kim' is best accomplished by softwood cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Cuttings should be taken from new growth that has not yet hardened off, and they should be approximately 6 inches in length. After taking the cuttings, strip off the lower leaves and dip the cut ends in rooting hormone. Plant the cuttings in a well-drained planting mix, and keep the soil moist but not soggy. Place the cutting in a location that receives indirect light, and wait for new growth to appear, which is an indication that the cuttings have rooted successfully.
Usually, the plant growth rate experiments show that the plant grows best when it has plenty of space. The average growth rate is about 10 centimeters (4 inches) per year, but the plant can grow much faster in ideal conditions. Experiments conducted in Germany found that the plant can grow up to 30 centimeters (12 inches) per year.
Common problems for this kind of plant are powdery mildew, leaf spot, and rust. These can all be controlled with fungicide, but it is important to catch them early. Powdery mildew will cause the leaves to have a white powder on them, and if left untreated, will eventually kill the leaves. Leaf spot will cause the leaves to turn brown and eventually fall off. Rust will cause the leaves to turn yellow and eventually fall off. If any of these problems are left untreated, the plant will not be able to produce flowers.
