    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Still a popular favorite in Europe (and with us), "Dwee doo" is easy to grow and loaded with 4-6 inch flowers of royal purple tipped with white - sometimes more so, sometimes less - for an effect that's surprisingly elegant. Albert, the beloved "people's king" of Belgium, died in 1934, hence its decidedly antique name: "Mourning for King Albert." Re-introduced by us in 2002 from the UK National Collection.
