Victoria 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.

An early violet with long stems forming a sturdy medium-sized plant.
