Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A decent medium purple, solid in tone, and with blue-purple buds. It is a good compact and vigorous grower, and a generous bloomer. The color holds up well, and resists fading. It is one of the crowd-pleasers here at the nursery! This being said - I have some doubts as to whether or not this is the true Delilah, as several (but not all) descriptions from other nurseries or agencies differ from mine. Normally, I would not (knowingly) offer a plant with a questionable identification, but this is such a fine and hardy purple, that I cannot resist. If anyone can help us clear up the identification, I would be grateful.
