Notes
'Scent and Sensibility Pink' lilac (Syringa 'Scent and Sensibility Pink') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, specimen planting, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It is a reblooming lilac with fragrant pink flowers that open in spring, summer, and autumn. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Cytherea peony, Western sword fern, Little Beauty tulip, and Invincibelle Ruby smooth hydrangea.
