Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The flowers of this cultivar possess an especially delightful aroma, and most closely resemble the fragrance of their angustifolia parentage. Considered by some to be one of the best intermedias for quality essential oil, 'Super' has tall, graceful stems, tapered buds, light violet-green calyxes, and large elongated flower heads, lighter colored than those of 'Grosso'.
