The ‘Sensation’ lilac tree is a truly beautiful tree which attracts an array of wildlife to any garden. An abundance of pretty purple flowers, with distinctive white margins, appear in spring; these flowers release a magnificently sweet scent. The foliage of this deciduous tree is heart-shaped and mid-green in colour. The small eventual size of this tree means that it can be planted comfortably in a smaller garden. This tree responds well to occasional light pruning.
