Angela and Linda’s Garden Notes:
Echinacea ‘Pink Sorbet’ is brand new from breeder Arie Blom of AB Cultivars in the Netherlands. This plant took top awards at the ISU (International Stauden Union) trials and Plantarium in The Netherlands last summer. It is a gem of a plant. Strong, sturdy stems hold up large, fully double bubble-gum pink blooms. This is the perfect plant for shipping on racks. Pink Sorbet has super stiff stems that hold up it’s fully double, pompom bloooms and never flop – even after a heavy rainstorm. If you’ve been waiting for a stronger pink double in the medium size range – Pink Sorbet is for you.
