producing erect, bare stems with globular heads 
of flowers, resembling the blue lace flower or 
bunch primrose. Perfectly hardy, easily grown, 
and well adapted to rock gardens and borders.

rigid, thin and perfectly bare 3 to 5-foot flower 
stalks topped by a round, ball-shaped cluster 
of small, star-like flowers 5 inches in diameter. 
The color is a deep lavender-purple. The 
effect of the tall bare stem with ball-like 
bloom high above surrounding flowers is quite 
unique and interesting. $1.50 each; 3 for $4.00.
