Are you sure this is the cultivar 'Peachy Pink'? (see first image) Seems to me that the darker rose color and leaf shape would fit this Trifolium rubens PF entry better?

Sue, That is what the plant tag said. It could have been mislabled, but I have nothing else to go by.

Yeah, nurseries mess up too. Looks like they got the Trifolium rubens part right, just not the 'Peachy Pink'.
In fact, all the online sources say it's called 'Peach Pink' without the Y.

Is the plant in the photo mis-identified? We can move the photo to the correct entry if it is, providing we can find it's correct identity.

Joan, I won't be offended if you want to remove it. Can you stick it under the PF page for the plain Trifolium Rubens?

It really does look like T. rubens. I've moved the photo.
