The Dwarf Korean Lilac tree-form (Syringa meyeri 'Palibin') is a compact, deciduous ornamental tree prized for its dense, rounded canopy of fragrant, lavender-pink flowers in late spring. Grafted onto a standard (single trunk) to reach heights of 4–8 feet, it is ideal for small landscapes, patios, and container planting. It is a low-maintenance, hardy (Zones 3–7), and sun-loving plant that offers a formal look. 

Key Characteristics & Overview

  • Size: Typically grows 4–7 feet tall and 4–6 feet wide, creating a dense, globe-shaped head on a 3-foot trunk.
  • Flowers: Abundant, light violet-purple flowers with a strong, sweet fragrance, blooming in late spring, often slightly later than common lilacs.
  • Foliage: Small, dark green, somewhat wavy or ruffled leaves that provide a refined texture.
  • Hardiness: Zones 3 through 7.
  • Growth Rate: Slow growing, with a lifespan of approximately 30 years. 

Planting and Care

  • Sunlight: Thrives in full sun (at least 6+ hours) but can tolerate partial shade.
  • Soil: Adaptable to various soil types, including heavy clay, but requires well-drained soil.
  • Maintenance: Low maintenance. Prune immediately after flowering to maintain shape and encourage blooming the following year.
  • Uses: Excellent as a, container plant, patio tree, formal entryway accent, or in small gardens.
  • Benefits: Attracts butterflies and hummingbirds, is generally resistant to powdery mildew, and tolerates urban pollution.
