Identify this one?

19 years ago

I grew this from seed last year but the flowers gotten eaten by a bunny before I could take a picture. It was supposed to be either purple rain and forskaohleii (I never spell that right). It's not purple rain, and it doesn't look like the pictures I've seen of forskaeohleii, either. The flowers are more purple than they look in the picture and are pretty small.

It looks like a S. nemerosa or superba.

I know it's not S. forskaeohleii; I have it and the leaves are a whorl near the ground, are quite large and rough-hairy. It also blooms later in the summer.

Thanks SG - s. nemerosa looks right. I know I didn't trade or buy seeds for that one, so somebody must have sent me a mixture. I have more s. forskaeoohleii seedlings this year, so I hope they are the real thing. I won't know for sure until they start blooming.
