Nursery contributed plant descriptions

WC Double awards have been given to this most popular and widely planted cultivar. The large, densely double flowers are formed into a tight, broadly pyramidal truss which is highly fragrant. The colors range from deep purplish lavender to lavender-pink. The plant is strong growing and can support the enormous flower clusters!
