A new variety for 2021, The Duchess of Cornwall is a good repeat flowering variety well suited for planting in containers.
Early season flowers will be a violet blue but in later season and stonger light and temperatures they will be a deeper violet but softening to a near mid-blue with age. It has a yellow centre.
It is a good plant for patios, containers, free standing or wall-trained shrubs, climbing roses, mixed borders and on tripods.
