    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Cute little heads of dark lilac pips with large white eyes. It is fairly similar in color to 'Laura' but has smaller and slightly paler florets, with larger white eyes, and it is a shorter plant. It has not proven to be as mildew resistant as advertised, at least not in my hot and sunny field, and so I would recommend this be planted in well-watered soil and/or in partial shade.
