Description:

Tall, stately, and ready to toss on some heels and tour the "Uptown" Shelby Town Square! Perhaps our "Alive After Five" celebrations will keep this saucy socialite happy, or perhaps "go country" and feast on some BBQ at our "Hog Happenin'" or Livermush Festival? Who knows what kind of fun things she'll find to do 'round these parts, as there certainly is PLENTY! Indeed, our county seat of Shelby, NC is just GORGEOUS! With the most amazingly scenic downtown that stopped me dead in my tracks when searching for new digs, you simply must come see for yourself! This "socialite" here is just a sample of what you might find, and like any good southern gal... she really knows how to "charm a crowd"!

The nature of the color scheme just can't be explained - piercing green throat, to the soft lavender eye (which is ringed by a red/lavnender "eye liner"), the soft peachy-cream self, and a double wire edge of the lavender red... is really best "experienced". The clean, striking look of this heavenly flower is accentuated by its height. Scapes are tall and perfectly erect, making a great specimen in the garden... and for exhibitions. 

Because this cultivar was originally introduced as a fundraising scheme to restore our "uptown square", I generally sell out of this statuesque gal every Summer (during my "open garden" season)... so get some social graces on ya, and order one (or two!) TODAY! ;-)
