PAINTED PINK is the deepest pink of any I have, though color is applied rather blotchily. Reminds me of a small girl learning to use rouge, a bit deeper here than there, with some white spots peeking out. Nevertheless, this is a color to work with in hybridizing, and PAINTED PINK sets seed easily. It is well branched, form at least acceptable, has a flaming red beard, and will outgrow other pinks two to one.
