JUDGE'S OBSERVATIONS
- “Tidier plant habit than Cherry Rose.”
- “Nice uniformity, good healthy color. Blooms are held above foliage as clamied. The whole plot looks really good whereas other varieties have struggled.”
- “The bloom color was a very interesting and unique pink. This plant would work for container plantings, as a ground cover and for novelty gardeners. It is also excellent for pollinator friendly gardeners.”
- “This entry DID hold blooms above the foliage, which is novel in nasturtiums.”
- “Entry continued uniform compact habit throughout growing season.”
