References:

From Fleur De Lis Gardens catalog for 1954: GRECIAN URN (Sapp 1954) M. L. 40 in. Snow Flurry x Cloud Castle. This adds a new color note to the garden as it is a different and entirely new shade of hyacinth violet. The heavily ruffled flowers are very large with extremely broad petals and beautiful, flaring form. Its size and the new color attract attention immediately. It flowers over a long season and has tall, strong, well branched stalks. $20.00.
