Freedom Early Pink

Breeder:
Paul Ecke Ranch
Summary:
As with other Freedom Early cultivars, the droopy bracts are strikingly large, with a medium pink color. The older bracts have a gray cast and the younger bracts are darker pink. The leaves are dark green. This cultivar is well matched to the rest of the series in timing and growth habit. Branching and uniformity were good.
