The buds are globular in configuration and are borne on strong stems that are capable of supporting a heavy inflorescence. A bushy growth habit is exhibited. The foliage is rather dense and dark green and contrasts nicely with the purple-violet blossoms. The plant is well suited for the production of cut floral sprays under greenhouse growing conditions.
