Full Description

JI 51″ VL 6-F

From Walter Marx Gardens catalog for 1956: “This massive midnight blue is unsurpassed in its color class. The bright yellow signals are bordered by brilliant indigo blue which shades out to dominant bluish biolet of deepest hue. The 10- to 11-inch flowers exhibit just about everything one could desire. Very late. 4½ feet.”
