From Cooley's Gardens catalog for 1945: "An intense blue, deeper than medium blue, but not really a dark shade. The form, finish and subs...Read Moretance are outstanding. Withstands either sun, wind or rain equally well, lasts long in bloom, and makes a wonderful garden clump."
Petals have a satiny sheen and the exact hue of blue is difficult to capture in photography. This beautiful old cultivar is a very worthy plant that has become somewhat forgotten. Worth having if you can find it.
