References:

From Schreiner's catalog, 1963: IMPERIAL LILAC (Schreiner 1963) M. 36". $25.00. For progress in the always scarce lavender class, what pedigree could be more of a "natural" than Amethyst Flame x Lavish Lady? We consider this shimmering, frosty, fresh-toned Lilac one of our finest 1963 introductions. It is a perfect self with classic beauty and fault-free habits. Generally more ruffled than the picture suggests, generously endowed in all its parts (measuring 8-3/8" wide and 7" tall), with excellent substance and ideal branching, Imperial Lilac is a thrillingly beautiful iris in the clump. Most new iris are bought by hobbyists who take pride in growing the finest or by cataloguers who are looking for varieties that will be in demand for many years. If you are in either category, here is an Iris for you to buy. Seedling No.R116.
