CC-1-1, which descends two generations down from Coral Charm. Many sidebuds and a better stature, but of course a single flower and a totally different colour.
2 CommentsNice to see these plants from Hans. I have quite a number of seedlings I’ve bloomed using Hans’ CC-3 pollen (a first generation from Coral Charm) which he was kind enough to send me several years ago.
