Overview

Additional Info

Syringa vulgaris ‘Sensation’ is a truly eye-catching common lilac, celebrated for its richly scented purple flowers edged with crisp white - a striking two-tone effect that makes it one of the most distinctive lilacs you can grow.

Flowering in late spring, lilac is not only a garden classic but also a valuable nectar source for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators emerging into the warmer months. Its dense branching structure provides seasonal shelter for insects and small birds, making it a beautiful and wildlife-supporting addition to any garden border.

‘Sensation’ is ideal for creating height and fragrance in a shrub bed, wildlife hedge, or sunny corner near paths and seating areas, where its perfume can be fully enjoyed.

Lilacs thrive best in well-drained soil and a bright, open position. Once established, they are hardy, long-lived shrubs that become more impressive with every passing year.

Supplied in a 12 litre container.
Eventual size: approx. 3–4m tall x 2–3m spread.
