Light Pink (Blush) Varieties
The following are the light pink varieties sold by Omeo. Light pinks can range from a pale blush to mid pink.
Some varieties are only suitable for the home garden and are not sold as cut flowers. The root and flower columns show whether the variety is available for sale as a root division/plant and as a cut flower.
The bud photo shows the maturity stage the bud has reached before it can be picked and open successfully. We have digitally altered some of the original photos to get the colour of the flowers as accurate as possible.
