Possibly a hybrid of
H. rectifolia x H. ventricosa, this cultivar was
registered in 1983 by
Le Jardin de Botanique de Montreal, Canada. It forms a large size mound about 26 inches tall by 62 inches
wide. The foliage is wavy, ovate, has smooth texture and better
than average substance. Its medium lavender flowers bloom from
late July into August on scapes that may reach 75 inches in
height.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "Try planting 'Tall Boy' alongside other cultivars with
tall scapes, such as 'Canadian Foreign Affairs', 'Krossa Regal',
and 'Sunami'." |
