From Joe Pye Weed catalog, 2017: DUSKY DAWN - SIBERIAN. Schafer/Sacks (Seedling No. S11-23-14), EM, 30". Large prominent pearly styles light up dusky tones of blue-violet, and sunbright signals spread their warmth through ruffled falls. Standards are pure violet with little or no yellow. Styles have blue-violet edging and a blue-green wash on the midrib. The substance of this flower is exceptional. A generous bloomer with five to six buds per stalk and two branches in a widely held clump leaving ample room for blooms. Our first introduction from Solar Energy, with more to come.
