‘Serlei Rubra’

Mauve (H2) flowers, IX–X; mid-green foliage; height 31–45cm; spread 61–75cm. An excellent plant. ‘A purple throw-back from [‘Serlei‘] … and is only distinguishable … by the fact that it flowers later in the season.

Sport on ‘Serlei‘; found at Dortmund before 1918. Maxwell (1927) and Letts (1966) gave ‘Serlei Grandilfora‘ as a synonym.

Named from ruber = red.
