Description

Pink buds open to pink, white, and yellow flowers 4 to 5 inches with orange-red eye. Petals are overlapping, twisted, and light pink with more intense pink along the rim, displaying conspicuous red veining. The flowers appear in elegant large trusses and dense clusters with medium fragrance. Leaves are medium to dark green, elliptical with pointed tips. The plant is a fast grower with upright growth, good to excellent branching, and large bloom heads easily seen from a distance. Requires consistent watering while blooming or some blooms may not open due to twisted petals gripping each other. The flowers are yellow star-shaped with a strong red veining from the center or white with yellow centers and orange-red veining. Fairly mild floral scent to slight floral smell. Some specimens are slow rooters that need to be tall before blooming, but set seed readily.
