Description

Bunches of large, rose-purple strongly tessellated flowers with well contrasted white centres. An excellent garden plant with strong constitution bearing autumn weather well.

Though supposed to be a cross of giganteum (i.e. speciosum) with bornmuelleri (i.e. speciosum)! this is certainly incorrect and Disraeli most clearly has bivonae in its parentage.

Introduced by Zocher and Co. in Holland and awarded am AM there in 1931.
