Description
Is this my favorite flower? I am not certain, but it does mean a lot to me as it does to so many other people. I think it is because it is the first real bloomer of spring and a grand statement making flower at that. We grow a multitude of different French hybrid varieties; some double, some single; lavender, purple, burgundy, pink, white, bi-color; some fragrant and some not; big, branchy and truly floriferous with most stems having multiple flower heads. “Sensation” is deep purple with each petal rimmed with white and “Beauty of Moscow” is a white variety, but the buds are pink when closed, and the flowers are double petals and large. In any case, these truly are some of the best Lilacs you will have ever seen.
