THE LILAC ZONE

Aptly named, this cultivar called 'Sensation' has wine-colored petals bordered in white and is a true bicolor lilac. The petals are described as "picotee". (I don't know why that word amuses me, but it does!) It is definitely an attention-grabber! There are other bicolor lilacs that exist, including 'Lila Wonder' that I highlight elsewhere on this site, but 'Sensation' is definitely the most well-known and the most easily obtained in the United States.
