Monsignor Vilmorin, 1907 IB 25" ML B9D, From the Cornell Extension Bulletin 112: "Color effect almost a deep violet self. S. hortense violet, shading darker. F. velvety raisin purple to mulberry purple, veined the same to cotinga purple on the outer haft. The edge of the blade is blended lighter. The beard is dense and conspicuously orange tipped. The growth is vigorous, the foliage lax, slender, and yellow-green, and the flowering stalks freely produced. The heavy flowers are borne in compact heds on stiff stems, and make a good mass of color." Comments: "A really outstanding variety. Very bright and eye-catching in the garden. Carries far and always attracts the eye. Blooms late in the season for me." - Mike, WA
