Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Tall spikes of double flowers in beautiful shades of blue, violet, rose, red, lavender, salmon, pink and white fill my garden in spring all the way into July. The blossoms have upward curving spurs on the back, hence their common name and many old variations of it, such as Lark's Heels and Knight's Spur. I offer the full array of colors, including the All-America Selections Winners 'Blue Bell', a pastel blue from 1934, and 'White King' from 1937. Self sows.
