Regular price $85.00 Sale

Origins: Hybrid created by Pam Koide

Bloom: Short, capitate inflorescence with red/salmon colored bracts that emerge slightly from the scapes, producing purple tubular flowers

Light: Strong indirect or filtered light, some direct light okay.  Strong filtered light will produce year round blush

Water: Spray or dunk twice a week, allow to dry within 6-8 hours.  Soak monthly to rehydrate up to 2 hours as necessary

 

This is a great hybrid if you're looking for something with year round color.  This is a very similar cross to Steve Correale's Coconut Grove, but Pink Sorbet produces more color out of bloom and stays a little more compact, while Coconut Grove grows a bit larger and tends to color up more during bloom.  Pink Sorbet also uses a form of capitata from Chiapas, MX that is more pink than red
