BeekenkampSummary:
The small bracts were medium pink with dark pink veins. While many pink varieties with dark green leaves have a grayish cast to the older bracts, this variety was a bit brighter than many. This variety was a few days later than the red, but could be easily marketed together. Saturnus Pink was less vigorous than the red in Florida and more vigorous in North Carolina. Saturnus Pink can be grown in a wide range of pot sizes.| Color | Vigor | Timing |
