patula 'Miss Kim') is a cultivar of lilac which was selected by Elwyn M. Meader while stationed in Korea as an army horticulturist.

[3] Flowers produced by this species are of pink, purple, and a light blue hues which accompany a sweet smelling aroma.

This species grows at a stagnant rate with full maturity of an individual shrub taking up to three years.

[5] Each shrub yields tight panicle clusters of purple-tubular modeled flower buds that are 4" to 6" in size which grow in pairs.

[8] This species blooms relatively late in the spring when it is warm, which limits how susceptible individual plants are to mildew and mold growth from moist environments.

[3] Within these states, the weather conditions are suitable enough for established lilacs to survive in temperatures as low as −10 °F (−23 °C).

Explorer Elwyn Meader during the course of an expedition in the Pouk Han Mountains selected some seeds from a collection which later was classified as the 'Miss Kim Lilac'.

The growth of the plant is rather slow[6] which makes it a great fit for individuals who do not have excess time to spend within their gardens everyday.

Planting specimens of this species in areas where there is an ample amount of sun and relatively well-drained soil will lead to successful flower blooming and a consistent growth rate.
