Dwarf Korean Lilac
Syringa meyeri ‘Palibin’
Dwarf Korean Lilac is a slow-growing shrub, hardy in USDA zones 3-7, that matures to about 5–8 ft × 6–10 ft. It does best in full sun with low water needs in well-drained, moist and occasionally-dry soil. Expect pink, purple and white blooms in spring. It attracts butterflies and hummingbirds, stands up well to deer, drought and dry soil and grows happily in containers.
