The common or French lilac has been a long-standing cut flower staple and a sought-after plant for American homes. 'Sensation' has large panicles of fragrant, four-petaled purple blossoms edged in white that are an exciting welcome in spring and bloom for several weeks in mid-May before fading amidst green, heart shaped leaves. Plants naturalize quite well and spread into large clumps that make great hedges or large backdrops for landscapes. Lilacs do best in well-drained, moist, fertile soil in full sun. Plants should be sited so they get good air circulation to avoid powdery mildew. Plants are also tolerant of clay soils.
