From 1996 Schreiner's catalog: SWINGTOWN (Schreiner 1996) L 36. Bring the rhythm of a jazz festival to your back yard. This refreshing mulberry-claret self is number one on the Iris hit parade. Its exquisitely ruffled petals, impeccable flower form and sweet lavender fragrance make it perfection indeed. Imagine warming up that garden corner with a lively spike of color as shown on our front cover. Swingtown is a prolific bloomer with ramrod stiff stems that produce three branches and 7-9 buds. Stock supply is limited so order early. HC '94. Seedling # CC 333-A. $45.00 [See photo from cover added on this page.]
