Syringa meyeri ‘Palibin’

Grafted to a Japanese Lilac trunk (or standard), this lollipop tree is really a shrub on a stick. Therefore, its height can vary slightly by supplier. The Dwarf Korean Lilac is a vigorous grower that benefits from a bit of shaping after initial bloom in May. Known for good Powdery Mildew resistance, it holds up well in the landscape. Clean foliage emerges with a hint of bronze that reappears in autumn. Abundant, pale lavender flowers are deliciously fragrant! Butterflies and Hummingbirds flock to this little powerhouse when it’s in full production. While Dwarf Korean will periodically re-bloom, don’t expect heavy flushes. A whiff of perfume here and there is the benefit. Tolerant of drought and moderate salt accumulation, this tree appreciates moist, well-drained sites with lots of sun and good air movement.
