From Fairmount Gardens, 1955: VISTA VIOLET (Nesmith 1955) M. Harmoniously blended flowers with lovely symmetry of form, this Louisiana hybrid of my own breeding is distinct in color tone from any other that I have seen. The petals are Amethyst Violet (35/2),very broad and full. The sepals are Amethyst Violet (35/3) with darker violet signal. Styles are violet with lighter edge.Thoroughly hardy, exceptionally well branched and very floriferous. 38 in. $8.00
