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.

Name

My maiden name is Ludwig!

Perfect healthy plant

Received my lilac plants very expediently and in great condition. I just reported all 4 in larger containers and will put them in the ground in early spring. They are doing extremely well so far! I’ve never had a disappointment of any plant purchased from the Greenhouse! My number 1 go to place!

Still thriving - great purchase . Would buy again!!!

Arrived nearly dead

These lilacs arrived in very effective packaging. So they were in good shape. They are small plants 12 to 18 inches. No flower buds but some nice leaf buds that opened up soon after I placed them outside. I like that they were labeled and that the pots were still moist.
