- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: A Lilac a Day is moderate on both, Dear Polly moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointA Lilac a Day first, then Dear Polly over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
