Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant belongs to the bush pot carnation type. The variety was obtained by crossing the CFPC Marmalade variety and a seedling under number 970143. Under protected cultivation conditions, the height of the bush reaches approximately 20 cm.

Flowers with a diameter of about 47 mm have a fully double structure consisting of 30 petals with finely serrated edges. The coloration is characterized by a pale yellow background with deep purple-pink streaks and an edge, which creates a visual orange hue. The flower fragrance is moderate; stamens are absent.

The variety is intended for pot culture and belongs to the medium-late maturity group. In a number of publications, it is mentioned as part of the ADORABLE series of varieties, which is oriented toward professional pot production.
