My Miss Kim is a water hog. Seems to need water more than any other kind of lilac, so it is now sitting on the edge of my annual bed, getting watered very frequently. Looks lots better than other years in less watered locations.

I don't really like it, has done nothing for me over about 6 years and a couple moves. Just straggles along.

It is going onward this Fall, to a friend who lives beside a river, which gives her rather damp ground to plant in. I figure the shrub will be EXCEEDINGLY happy there, instead of my dragging out it's demise in my drier location.
