Miss Kim Korean Lilac
Lewis Mock Orange

Miss Kim Korean Lilac is a smaller cultivar of the Korean Lilac that blooms with pale purple flowers in late spring. It produces red-pink berries in mid to late July, and while they are edible, the flavor is not highly significant.

The Miss Kim Korean Lilac makes a good hedge and privacy screen, and will attract birds and butterflies to your yard.

Lewis Mock Orange is a flowering ornamental shrub that produces an abundance of white, fragrant blooms. The flowers have a sweet scent similar to orange blossoms, with a hint of pineapple. They bloom for several weeks from late spring to early summer, attracting pollinators and other beneficial insects.

Native to North America, Lewis Mock Orange is found from the southernmost portions of Alberta and British Columbia, and south into the northwestern United States. It makes an attractive shrub and can be used in hedgerows, pollinator gardens, and naturalization projects. Blooms occur on the previous year’s wood, so it is recommended to prune after it has finished flowering.
