    ?For borders that never become stereotyped... these quaint flowers of Old World flavor should be remembered? (Cumming); rich, purple-violet or white early summer flowers in whorls on 10-12" stalks; loved by humming bird moths, too. S-PSh/M

    Once this blooms in the early summer garden I always wish for more. Large lavender-red flowers on 18" stems with gray leaves.
