Variageted Foliage
Its assets: a touch of light, a splash of colour and an exceptional shape !This variety was first chosen for its completely new leaf variegation. The young leaves are largely tinted with red, then their colour evolves. The leaf blade is grey-green, irregularly overlapped with light grey-green patches, delicately outlined in yellow, sometimes mixed with touches of pink.The stems, and then the flower spikes, are very straight. Their bright red-purple colour contrasts with the golden foliage, which shows off the beauty of PINK PANACHE®.Finally, this selection is also interesting for its upright, extremely well branched form. Its silhouette stays round.The relatively dark pink flowering takes place from May to autumn, just like the other Gaura varieties.To be used in pots, in beds, in association with shrubs or other perennials.

A novelty for the Sorbaria genus : foliage with long lasting colours, a growth that stays compact
Concerning the Sorbaria species, where novelties are rare, PINK HOPI® 'COUSORB05' has been chosen for its qualities, different from those of 'Sem'.The compound, serrated foliage is delicate, light and harmoniously layered. It is a remarkable plant, due to its young variegated shoots which are red, pink and cream, then veined with white. Bud burst is extremely precocious, starting in early March. The shoots withstand the cold (at least up to -3° C). The colourful period lasts a month longer than in the traditional varieties, the shrub shines until the end of Mai. Later, in the summer, the foliage turns green.The shape of PINK HOPI® has the additional advantage of staying compact and this selection produces less suckers. Its dense foliage makes it a good ground cover.The white flower panicles bloom in June - July.The shrub does not need any maintenance (neither treating nor pruning). It is very hardy.
