Angela’s Garden Notes:

Pink Double Delight comes to us from AB-Cultivars breeder Arie Blom in The Netherlands.  Plants Nouveau is proud to introduce this new selection with its shorter habit and numerous pink, fully double pompom-like flowers.  The plant is well branched and very floriferous, producing numerous straight and sturdy flower stems.  The dainty blooms are a bright, clear pink, and very long lasting.  They also fade to a lovely shade of mauve.

There’s no stopping this ever-blooming coneflower from AB-Cultivars. It really is a winner and a selection that will be hard to top for many generations to come. It really is great everywhere it is planted.
