This is another of the famous Hachmann hybrids from Germany. The flowers are pale purple fading to white with a prominent blotch of deep purplish red. It is a vigorous, wide spreading, compact plant with attractive shiny green leaves. If you like flowers with blotches, this is a must for your garden. ('Hachmann's Diadem' x 'Hyperion')

One of Mr. Hachmann's personal favorites. The flowers open pale purple in late- midseason and quickly turn white with a strong blotch of deep purplish-red. Compact, somewhat open habit.
