Nursery contributed plant descriptions

We have a small number of this plant again. Our original plant came from Joe McDaniel back in '72. The plant is now 12x12' and blooms for months. The main bloom of deep purple flowers is in April with a scattering of flowers through the summer. Very hardy with deep green foliage and the pretty deep purple flowers.
