Shell Pink is such a pretty soft pink—light, delicate, and easy to tuck into just about any color palette. The smaller blooms have a beautiful pearly quality, and the vines produce plenty of stems for cutting. This is one I’m especially excited to grow more of.
IMPORTANT GERMINATION NOTE
During our germination testing, we found a higher-than-usual number of seeds with hard seed coats in this year’s crop. For the best results, we strongly recommend scarifying these seeds before sowing. Use nail clippers to remove the tiniest sliver of the seed coat, or rub one small spot with coarse sandpaper, taking care not to damage the inside of the seed.
