Description & History
Pink Ruffles is listed by PSA and is described in source notes as a seedling of Pink Pansy. Its name fits the flower: the cultivar is reported to have pink blooms with a peachy-gold to orange-yellow center and visibly ruffled or twisted petal edges. Source descriptions describe it as a profuse and reliable bloomer with sweet fragrance, medium compact growth, and good keeping quality.
