Classic Pink

Breeder:
Paul Ecke Ranch
Summary:
As with Classic White, Classic Pink is also well matched in overall appearance to Classic Red. The large medium pink bracts have darker pink veins and young bracts and the older bracts has less of the gray cast that we see in many other pink cultivars. The foliage is dark green and the bracts are held flat to slightly upright. This cultivar may find a niche as a stand-alone cultivar, but is probably best used as a companion cultivar to Classic Red. Plants are moderately vigorous and mid-season.
