Regina
- Geo Lee, Clevedon (Avon)
UK. 1873.
The original was a true 'Russian' violet, a cross
between 'Czar' and 'Devoniensis' raised by Geo Lee in 1873. This version is the
one discovered by Jean Burrows on the site of Lee's old nursery and as close to
the description of the original as to be more or less exact. Large violet-
purple flowers, which are said to fade to dark blue with age.
An early violet with long stems forming a sturdy
medium-sized plant.
