Full Description

Very fragrant 4-lobed tubular flowers in late spring earley summer. A spreading medium sized deciduous shrub with dark green, heart-shaped leaves and fragrant, single, deep wine-reddish purple flowers in slender panicles to 30cm long. It’s a hardy plant in most places throughout the Uk even in severe winters.

Ludwig Spaeth blooms later than almost all other lilacs so you’ll always have a few more weeks of that magical lilac fragrance around. Is a French Hybrid that was first introduced in 1883. It’s a gorgeous bloomer that has stood the test of time. Early in June your shrub will be covered with huge clusters of beautiful deep reddish-purple blooms that are excellent as cut flowers. Just a few of them will perfume your entire house.

The lilac has established itself to grow wild in many parts of Britain, as well as being cultivated in thousands of gardens for its colour and sweet smelling flowers. Many subtle shades of colour and most attractive to butterflies.

Pruning= Tolerant of hard renovation pruning

All our stock is “lifted” to order, which means that they are “lifted” and packed the same day and sent off so delivery is made the following day hence you receive them as fresh as possible. They are well packed and they are able to stay in the bags they arrive in for up to 7/10 days out of any frosts but it is advisable to plant bareroot trees as soon as possible. We are able to give you a suitable delivery date after the order has been placed when we email your order of acknowledgement to you.
