DESCRIPTION

Ludwig Spaeth is a classic French lilac cultivar known for its richly colored, deep reddish-purple blooms and strong, sweet fragrance. Blooming in late spring, it produces long, narrow panicles packed with single florets that open from dark buds, making it one of the most vibrantly colored lilacs available. Its bloom time extends the lilac season and provides a stunning contrast to paler varieties in the landscape.

This upright, multi-stemmed shrub grows 8 to 10 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide, making it an excellent choice for hedging, screening, or as a bold focal point. Like other Syringa vulgaris cultivars, it thrives in full sun and well-drained, neutral to slightly alkaline soil. It’s cold-hardy and deer-resistant, and light pruning after bloom helps maintain shape and vigor.

Key Features:

Deep reddish-purple, strongly fragrant blooms
Blooms in late spring, extending lilac season
Upright growth: 8–10 ft. tall, 6–8 ft. wide
Excellent for hedges, borders, and specimen planting
Attracts pollinators and makes superb cut flowers
Hardy in USDA Zones 3–7
Thrives in full sun with well-drained soil

With its bold color, heady fragrance, and reliable performance, Ludwig Spaeth Lilac is a timeless choice for classic gardens and lilac enthusiasts.

Plant is growing great , thank you .

Beautiful lilac plants

All of the plants I ordered came in perfect condition. The attention to detail in their packing process is second to none. Thank you for the beautiful lilacs!

Happy gardener

All three of the plants I purchased from this site were packaged perfectly and shipped quickly and all are doing very well. The two Hydrangeas are getting ready to bloom. The Lilac was already past its bloom time so I’ll just have to wait to see it put on a show.
