Common lilac 'Sensation'

Required little care, tidy the plant by removing old flower heads

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Sensation is thought of as hardy, so Sensation will tend to go dormant or grow slowly over the winter months. Sensation requires a loamy and clay soil with a ph of 6.0 - 7.5 - it grows best in weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.

Choose a sunny spot with room for the shrub to grow in to a small tree

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Sensation is a hardy plant.
