We expect this variety to become more and more popular as soon as its beauty and useful landscape qualities become generally known. 2-1/2 feet. $2.50, 3 for $6.50, 12 for $25.00.
From Wayside Gardens catalog, 1954: SLEEPY HOLLOW - Each 75c, Three $1.80, Doz. $5.65. Handsome iridescent, rich, velvety, deep violet flowers. A stunning deep color note in the garden; regardless of its depth the color carries well. Grows about 2~1/2 feet high, excellent foliage and blooms freely. This fine variety will be used in great numbers because of its exceptionally good landscape qualities.
