DESCRIPTION
Syringa vulgaris ‘Fritz Klager’ is a classic lilac cultivar that flowers in mid-spring with well-formed panicles of fragrant, magenta to deep purple single florets. Buds open rich in color and produce a perfume that fills the spring garden as fresh green, heart-shaped leaves follow the bloom. The open, conical flower clusters are appreciated for their strong scent and clear, warm tones, which make them excellent for cut arrangements and visual interest in early season beds.
This cultivar is historically linked with the Hulda Klager Lilac Gardens in Woodland, Washington, where Hulda Klager selected and named many lilac varieties in the early twentieth century. Garden guides note that multiple cultivars from the Klager program, including ‘Fritz Klager’, remain part of collections celebrated each spring during local lilac festivals.
