Federico García Lorca Lilac

The Federico García Lorca Lilac stands out for its unusually complex color range, lush fragrance, and robust performance. Named in honor of the famed Spanish poet, this extraordinary cultivar offers evolving visual depth and practical strength to boot. The double flowers transition through nearly every color class recognized by the International Lilac Society: blue, white, purple, violet, lilac, pink and magenta. From first bud through full bloom, Federico García Lorca stages a symphony of color and scent that draws the eye and enchants the senses. Exceptional Color Progression: This lilac produces double blooms that noticeably shift in tone as they mature. Flowers open in shades of blue-lavender, gradually deepening to violet, pink, and eventually deep magenta. This multistage color development provides even longer and more dynamic visual value than many single-tone varieties. Old World Fragrance True to Its Heritage: True to its meticulous Baltic breeding, Federico García Lorca emits the vibrant yet soothing scent lilac lovers expect—strong enough to be appreciated outdoors, yet refined enough to enjoy through open windows. Its fragrance consistency makes for a delightful, predictable spring aroma from year to year. Strong Growth, Elegant Structure: This cultivar forms large, well-packed flower trusses on upright, supportive stems. The structure minimizes drooping and helps the shrub maintain a clean shape throughout its bloom time. Hardy and undemanding, it thrives in full sun with well-drained soil. Expect a long lifespan with minimal pruning or special care required.
