Our 2008 cover girl makes the "good doer" lists every time! Large, fragrant, ruffled lavender-pink flowers open to a lighter center topped off by a blotch of yellow on the upper lobes. The plant with its glossy green foliage and mounding habit, is not only cold hardy but also heat tolerant. For the hybridizer, 'Janet Blair' is a proven parent of many new and lovely hybrids. Blooms third week of May, and is better in moderate shade than many other varieties. Safe, dependable, and attractive are apt descriptors. Sounds like the girl next door!
