We list it with 32 in scapes, 7 in blooms, early-to-midseason, tetraploid, dormant so gardeners can compare it quickly with other varieties in the field. Notable traits include rebloom potential.

• Color & form: Dark purple self with green throat; 7 in blooms, spider form

• Bloom time in Vale, NC: photographed in bloom in our garden on June 18, 2023; AHS season: early-midseason; registered as a rebloomer

• Bloom factoid: We only have one season of bloom photos so far (2023), so the jury's still out on its Vale, NC timing. That lines up with its registered AHS season (early-midseason).
