Syringa vulgaris Sensation Details

Syringa vulgaris Sensation, commonly known as Sensation Lilac, is a popular variety grown for its showy flowers from late spring through summer. During this time, purple buds open to reveal clusters of fragrant, single, purple-pink flowers with a white rim. These are absolutely stunning and are great for attracting butterflies. The foliage comprises dark green, heart-shaped leaves which develop yellow tones in autumn before falling. It grows upright with a somewhat loose habit to about 2.5 m tall and 2 m wide, though can be trimmed as necessary. Best performance with this plant is achieved when grown in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site. It is tolerant of light shade, short periods of dry, frost, and cool climates. Syringa vulgaris Sensation is commonly included in a mixed planting, used as a backdrop for smaller plants, added to cottage gardens, or used as a flowering hedge. It is well suited to planting around outdoor living areas where the beautiful colours can be enjoyed.
