Syringa vulgaris 'Frank Klager' | Frank Klager Lilac

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Syringa vulgaris ‘Frank Klager’ is a common lilac grown for fragrant, single flowers in deep purple tones that open in mid to late spring. Full panicles appear at the branch tips, with darker buds expanding to richly colored florets that perfume the air and draw spring pollinators. Heart-shaped green leaves follow quickly after bloom, giving the plant a fresh, leafy presence through the rest of the season.

‘Frank Klager’ was developed by Hulda Klager in Woodland, Washington, and named for her husband, Frank Klager. It is recorded as a Klager introduction from 1928 and is often noted in lilac collections for its strong fragrance and dependable midseason flowering, making it a natural fit near paths, patios, and entry gardens where scent can be enjoyed.
