From Moonshine Gardens catalog, 1989: OCTOBER - 36" EM-M. D80-111: WELL ENDOWED X VIOLET MIRACLE. Gold S. ; bronzy golden brown F. with a small white area at the hafts overlaid with golden brown lines; styles thatblend from gold bases to violet tops fringed with gold crests; violet beards tipped gold. What an eyecatcher - in beautiful fall colors'. Distinctive too though even I 'll admit it 's rather hafty. Very nice ruffled flowers of distinctive fountain form too, on excellent stalks. Very strong and a very strong and reliable rebloomer that usually starts - in October ! $30.00
