From Mid-America Garden catalog, 2006: PUSSYCAT PINK - SDB, 12" (30 cm), Midseason-Late. Meow, meow, meow she brags, I'm pink, I'm pink, I'm pink - and she is! This is the hottest pink SDB we've seen. I wasn't going to introduce it because the standards can be a bit informal. Everyone keeps saying introduce it and so here it is. It is totally hot pink with the excpetion of a few sanded plicata marks around white beards that are capped neon coral. Pussycat Pink is a WONDERFUL parent for wide range of orange and pink bearded plicatas. A couple of it's siblings were gorgeous pink and orchid plicatas but with less than acceptable form. Sdlg.
