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.
