Ludwig Spaeth Lilac, Syringa vulgaris 'Andenken an Ludwig Spaeth', is a French Hybrid Lilac with single red-purple flowers in early June that are excellent as cut flowers because of their very fine fragrance. This lilac is beautiful as a hedge or background planting. The blooms come late spring, extending the lilac season! This lilac has an outstanding open branched, upright habit useful in mixed shrub borders or in mass plantings. It is easily grown in average, medium moist, well-drained soil in full sun. Ludwig Spaeth tolerates light shade, but best bloom is in full sun. It prefers organically rich, slightly acidic soils with good drainage. Once it is established, it only needs occasional watering. With its lovely spring accent, it makes a wonderful screen or border specimen. It grows 10-12 feet tall and 6-8 feet wide.
