[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lilacs struggle here doe to our hot, humid summers. Look for varieties specially developed to handle this:  Miss Kim does well. Peonies do great, but will not flower first year. [/quote]

Previous Anti-Miss Kim poster here--my Miss Kim always looks like crap with drying up leaves by July and the flowers don't actually smell like anything. [b] Is it possible I have a fake Miss Kim!?!  [/b]I have neighbors with old, established lilacs that smell heavenly and look great, so it can be done here.  I would go to a garden center and pick out a lilac in bloom.[/quote]

I know this post is old but since it's been revived in this new forum.....I think it's very possible you have a fake Miss Kim.  We've got three and they're fabulous.  The blooms are even more fragrant than the ones we had on our farm in the Midwest (we had three varieties - don't know what they were but they were different colors and had different size flowers).  The flowers are paler in color and smaller in size but the flower stem is packed with flowers.  I'm really impressed.  They also haven't gotten taller than 4 feet and have survived total neglect while we were doing home renovations.  [/quote]
