Dwarf Korean Lilac...a Perfect Compact Size for any Garden Flowerbed

Be aware that once the blooms begin to fade, moths seem to like laying their eggs (sometimes 40 of them) within the drying/fading blooms. They cover the the eggs with a felt-like substance from her body hairs. Within the substance grows the green worm. Because I deadhead the spent blooms, I was able to destroy the 3 I found on my shrub.

About The Dwarf Korean Lilac

Add the Dwarf Korean Lilac, a compact blooming and fragrant shrub to any flowerbed garden design. I must confess, I never liked lilac trees. Once the bloom time finished, I considered the tree leaves ugly, that is until I discover the dwarf variety shrub.

And even though white lilacs draped over my mother's arms as she wed my father, and my grandmother lovingly cared for many lilac trees back home in her Prussian gardens, I never cared to grow one until now.

How To Grow the Dwarf Korean Lilac

I now have a change of heart. I have planted a Dwarf Korean Lilac. Most lilacs require a little 'tender loving care' in order for them to stave off that haggard look, but with the dwarf variety, the work is minimal...in fact encouraged.
