Sensation is distinctive for it's dark purple flower with a bright white picotee edge. Short blooming period in mid-spring, the blossoms smell wonderful!

It took about 5 years to reach bloom size but it is now a very welcome sign of spring in my garden.

Waited two years for this beauty to finally flower...and the fragrance is as wonderful as the plant is beautiful.

Sensation has been known to produce some branches of blooms with just the cream edging color (right)

The contrasting white edging on this purple lilac make it stand out. It took two years for these lovely blooms to appear, however, it was well worth the wait.
