Dwarf Korean lilac plants require a certain kind of care. Dwarf Korean lilac is a dense, multi-stemmed deciduous shrub extremely popular with urban gardeners for its resistance to pollution and slight disturbances such as wind. Before you go planting your new dwarf Korean lilac in your tiny backyard or in a pot, however, you should note that although this species is called "dwarf," it can actually grow up to eight feet high and eight feet wide. If you do have space for a shrub this size, a dwarf Korean lilac is a great choice. This round, compact shrub fills out with panicles of fragrant lilac flowers every May for two weeks. These stunning purple blooms blanket the shrubs from the ground up and you can smell them from several meters away. When this shrub is not in bloom, it is covered with small, delicate, pointy leaves that do not change color in the autumn.
