PINK HOME RUN®

Hardy Shrub

2011 Intro

Velvety Warm Pink, single, 2009, + When you got something as good as Home Run, it’s a great surprise to discover a match. That’s the excitement we felt when we found one lone branch on the famous red Shrub that had sported (mutated) to produce pink blossoms. Now that one branch has produced enough plants to introduce the all new Pink Home Run. Ms. Pink is just like Mr. Red – identical in every way except for the flower color…& that color is soooo sweet. Like ‘Dad’, she KO’s the competition when it comes to complete black spot AND complete powdery mildew resistant. Good from coast to coast.
