Cymbidium 'Pink Delight'
cancel Sold out
Cymbidium ((Claude Pepper × Red Beauty) × Red Beauty) 'Pink Delight' is a line I've grown on and off for a while now. It carries the depth and shape you'd expect from Red Beauty, reinforced by having it on both sides of the parentage. The plants throw tall, clean spikes that sit well above the foliage, and it's one I've mostly kept as a cut-flower type because it holds surprisingly well once cut.

- Water: Keep evenly moist in the growing season; ease off in winter.
