Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Both a florist shop's darling and a star in the garden, 'Henry's Violet' struts dandy bicolored blooms. Vivid violet-hued outer petals reveal white throats with burgundy flecks, a chartreuse dusting, flaxen highlights and several prominent magenta-laced purple blotches. Sturdy long stems and a flood of fresh green foliage support the large open-funneled flowers that cavort amid Stachys 'Hummelo', Salvia 'Whirly Blue' and Kniphofia 'Minister Verschuur' above our stonewall.
