Description: Syringa meyeri 'Palibin' at Arnold Arboretum, Boston MA. From the sign: Native to China, this species is incorrectly referred to as Dwarf Korean Lilac. The diminutive size (4-5 feet tall at maturity), small flowers, and rounded habit give this cultivar a dainty appearance, however the plant is robust and grows with vigor.

Flowers are prolific, fragrant, and pale pink to light lavender. Not your typical lilac, this plant could be ideal for a small garden and does not require much pruning.
