From Mid-America catalog 1981: COLUMBIA BLUE (Schreiner 78). Not often is a Schreiner variety overlooked, but this one has been. It is a clean medium to light blue with impeccable form and branching that has come to be associated with the Schreiner blues. Plenty of buds make this a superior garden variety. If you think Victoria Falls a superb variety, try this one!.

• Show branching with a large, well formed blossom. Rampant growth and vibrant foliage. Overlooked by the awards system, but a winner nonetheless.I -- WikiGuest - 17 May 2021
