This clone is one of the finest forms of this easily grown species in the RSBG collection. Dark lavender flowers in mid-spring on a very compact grower. Bright blue-green new leaves. A very striking and floriferous plant that should be in every garden. Quite tolerant of conditions but best in light shade. A great all-around garden plant.
