Syringa 'Andenken an Ludwig Späth', Lilac 'Andenken an Ludwig Späth', French Lilac 'Andenken an Ludwig Späth', Lilac 'Ludwig Spath', French Lilac 'Ludwig Spath'
Regarded as one of the best purple lilacs, award-winning Syringa vulgaris ‘Andenken an Ludwig Spath’ is an upright, deciduous shrub with slender panicles, up to 12 in. long (30 cm), packed with amazingly fragrant, single, deep wine-red flowers. Blooming in late spring, the abundant blossoms last 3-4 weeks and make a dramatic display. The erect, open branches are clothed in dark green, heart-shaped leaves that remain attractive in summer. Introduced in 1883, this lilac is still an outstanding selection. To extend the season of interest of your lilac, grow clematis with different bloom times through its branches to add color and glamour to the shrub. Perfect for sunny mixed borders.
