The color is purest lavender blue, near Plumbago blue, according to the Dictionary of Color, with no veinirg whatsoever even on the hafts. The large rounded flowers possess exceptional texture and substance and actually remain in perfect condition 3 to 4 days in the garden under adverse weather conditions. Branching fair. Height 36 inches. Midseason. HM AIS 1949, AM 1952. Picture on page 36.
