Description

The Russell Hybrids are perhaps the most popular named hybrid group in commerce today. They were developed by English gardener George Russell in the early 1900s. Plants typically grow to 3-4™ tall and feature huge erect spikes (racemes to 1-2™ tall) of densely-packed pea-like flowers that bloom from late spring to early/mid summer on stiff stems rising from clumps of palmate compound green leaves (each with 9-16 leaflets). Hybrid flower colors include shades of blue, purple, violet, yellow, pink, red, white and bicolor
