DESCRIPTION
Syringa vulgaris ‘Fred Wilke’ is a classic lilac selection associated with the Hulda Klager Lilac Gardens in Woodland, Washington, introduced in the early 20th century and named for Fred C. Wilke. In spring, fresh green foliage emerges on sturdy, woody branches, forming a full, leafy framework that carries the season’s flower display.
Blooming in mid to late spring, it produces dense clusters of very double florets described as a clear blue-toned lavender. The florets can show tightly layered petals with a slightly twisted form, creating a plush, textured look in each truss. Flowers are notably fragrant and well suited to cutting, with the heavy double bloom making the clusters look especially full as they open.
