Sensation Lilac

Plant in spring or fall in well-drained, near-neutral to slightly alkaline soil, spacing 8–12 feet apart. Sensation is one of the most distinctive lilac varieties, producing deep purple flowers dramatically edged in pure white on each floret — a bicolor combination unlike any other lilac. It adapts to average garden conditions and is very cold-hardy. Water well at planting and mulch lightly.

Prune right after flowering and remove spent clusters promptly. Fertilize in spring. The extraordinary bicolor flower pattern of Sensation is unique and unmistakable — no other common lilac produces the same deep purple-and-white edging effect. Flowers are fragrant. Very cold-hardy and long-lived when properly sited. A must-have variety for lilac collectors and anyone who wants something truly distinctive in the spring garden.
