Cymbidium Little Sarah 'Pink Pastel' Variegated – One Only
cancel Sold out
Cymbidium Little Sarah 'Pink Pastel' Variegated is a rare and beautifully marked form of this popular miniature hybrid. The foliage shows stable creamy-yellow variegation that remains consistent through new growth, adding year-round interest even when not in bloom. The flowers are identical to the standard form — soft pink with delicate pastel tones — but the striking variegation makes this plant a standout collector’s specimen.
Only one available. This is a stable variegated plant, not a sport or temporary variation. Ideal for collectors who appreciate foliage quality as much as flower beauty.
