Avoid diseases and pests by providing the ideal environment for your plant to thrive. Miss Kim lilacs are disease resistant. Lilacs are rarely affected by insects. However watch out for Scale and Borers. Scale is an insect seen on the underside of leaves, stems, and branches.

They may look cottony or waxy and move slowly or not at all. These insects are parasitic so they can be a problem if they become abundant. They can be treated with neem oil. Be sure to thoroughly cover the entire plant and apply multiple doses. If you see holes in the stems of your plant you have Borers. These are generally hard to treat without pruning the plant back as they live inside the plant. However, natural pesticide, Bacillusthuringiensis can be an effective treatment.

Landscape Ideas

The Miss Kim Lilac is fairly large at maturity, 5 to 8 feet tall and about 6 feet wide. This Lilac is great for a unique hedge or even a privacy screen. Plant one as a lovely focal point in your yard or garden. Lilacs are perfect for a cottage, cutting, or wildlife garden. Plant your Miss Kim somewhere where you pass by often so you can enjoy the fragrance of its blooms.
