TITAN'S GLORY as it grows in my garden, and as I have seen it in other
gardens and at shows for years, is not the same color as the photo on Steve
Rocha's website, which appears much too blue to my eye. The registration
color is listed as "bishop's purple", and I can't imagine anyone who has
seen a bishop in full regalia who would describe the color of his robes in
terms of shades of blue. Of course, my TITAN'S GLORY had purple based
foliage when I looked at it early in May and still has it now that it is
bloom, which not everyone seems to agree is the case with them.
It seems remarkable that the description of a well-known, self-colored
Dykes' Medallist can be so elusive and diverse.
