Would you say it's a red variety? These got frozen but recovering

"Big Pink" is a cross between capensis alba x all red. It will get strong red coloration on the leaves but likely less than the all red variety.

Are those propagations or seedlings? I'm fairly certain that seeds from 'Big Pink' do not produce more of the same cultivar, and instead sprout as a mix of all red and alba.

Ok cool. Thanks. Yes. Those are Big Pink strikes. I have about 40 right now and very proud of my achievement. [WHITE SMILING FACE] They were looking better before they got frozen the other day but they will come back. Here is a pic from before the freeze. They are still bigger now. They were just more hairy before. Thanks again
