From Schreiner's website:

You too will celebrate the blossoms of this ruffled purple-violet self. Its rich parentage goes back to Black Tie Affair X (Festive Mood x Magic Man) thereby opening the door to vast breeding potential. Sturdy stems easily display six to eight gigantic 6 1/2" flowers, even during inclement weather. Don't miss out on this floral wonder.
