Terrific cultivar, striking flower colours seem to stand out, even glow, against the dark foliage. Naturally free flowering and fairly short jointed, but not self branching. Pinching needed if you want a compact plant. Recommended for mini and 1/4 standards.
Tube: Creamy white with pink blush, short.
Sepals: White with hint of rose and green tips, 1/2 up, slightly recurved.
Corolla: Rich fuchsia pink mixed with lavender, lighter at base, more pink at edges, 1/4 flared.
