Parade on by this most regal of purple plicatas with its eleven buds per stalk and slight fragrance. The midseason bloomer will be sure to quickly grow to an impressive garden clump that will dazzle with its sheer floriferousness. Thanks for Lara from La Quinta, CA, the winner of our 2026 naming contest! Lara was inspired by the nostalgia and magic of high school homecoming parades-the glow of the early evening, the hum of excitement from football games, the grandeur of floats and dances, and the shimmer of tiaras and trophies. Seedling #L917-A
