piilu would be good,
i grow terniflora up thru miss kims on 3 different bushes, but i train it straight up to a tall pole that is in the middle of the miss kim and keep most of it off the plant. i have done this for 3 years. the terniflora is taking off as the miss kim is finished blooming and there have been no issues with this for the lilac. in the late winter or early spring the terniflora is hardpruned off the lilac.
the miss kims look great in late summer as a mound of white blooms. here is a photo from last summer that shows a miss kim with terniflora before bloom time.
