Biennial, about 5 ft. high: lvs. glabrous above, short-puberulent beneath; radical rosulate, ovate or oblong-rhomboid, attenuate to the short petiole, obtuse, obtusely crenate or repand; cauline lvs. few, sessile, oblong or lanceolate, acute: fls. purple or red, in a simple slender raceme; calyx glandular, obtuse segms. elliptical; corolla glabrous; filaments purple-woolly. S. E. Eu., Caucasus, and Persia. G. 15:158. Gn. 22, p. 377; 27, p. 173; 41, p. 566. A.G. 13:630. L.B.C. 7:637.—The name phoeniceum was undoubtedly suggested by the Phoenician purple and not by the habitat. One of the parents of nearly all the hybrids having fls. of purple, violet, rose, pink, and lilac shades. The fls. open poorly in sunshine, preferring damp weather, consequently the locality should be one where only the morning and evening sun strike the fls. Var. album, Hort., is a white-fld. form. Gn. 46, p. 519. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
