Description

The 'Louis Edmunds' is a dense shrub that reaches 10' in height and 15' wide, bearing long spikes of deep blue flowers in spring. It is an outstanding Wild Lilac for flower color and as a mid-size screen. It is tolerant of heavier soils, and requires some summer watering. In hot inland climates, part shade is necessary. -Monterey Bay Nursery
