Description: SO big, SO saturated, SO beautiful!!! From its bloom as a mature seedling (clump photo), it was obvious this gargantuan momma had something to say... and in GRAND fashion! Makes a WONDERFUL "specimen" as a clump. Though I really didn't think my pinks could get much richer, this one surely blew my socks off... and has been ever since. Of course, the fact that these hotties come on amazingly performing plants... ALL the better! WOO HOO!!!
I'm also happy to report (now that it's been out for a few years) that this plant has shown VERY well in all areas... especially in cool/wet ones, where large flowers can sometimes have trouble opening (and this one doesn't). Rebloom is fantastic, often surpassing initial bloom in all dimensions. The interval between bloom/rebloom is nearly 3 weeks however, so folks in zones 4-5 may not see that happen. Not really a deal breaker though, as there's few plants of these dimensions that actually DO rebloom in the far north. The color saturation is truly "through the roof" up there though (beyond what my pics here show in zone 7), so there's pro's and con's to everything! Getting some really gorgeous seedlings from this hottie, too... very large flowers, with unreal saturation and habit!
