First Arrival

First Arrival.  Anderson.  1986.  Large medium lavender semi-double flowers carried on strong stems. Deep green foliage that lasts throughout the season make this a good landscape plant.  A fast grower and gorgeous in a clump.  First Arrival was the first intersectional to bloom in 1984 for Roger Anderson.  Still one of the best.  Week 5 bloom time.  No fertility noted.  (Martha W x Reath woody hybrid).   Ships in late September to mid October.
