Pink Candy

Breeder:

Selecta/Ball

Summary:

A peppermint type with dark pink bracts and tiny darker pink flecks. Coloration is generally brighter than other peppermint cultivars, but color darkens as plants age. Bracts are medium sized and a bit elongated. Plants had good branching and vigor varied from low in the north to higher in the south. Plants flower mid-season. Very nice cultivar, which shows well under fluorescent lights and in the greenhouse. If you have not tried a new peppermint type in a while, give this one a shot.
