A new gerbera cultivar ‘Noble Pink’ was released by the National Institute of Horticultural & Herbal Science (NIHHS)in 2009. A cross was made between ‘Himalaya’ with white and semi-double and ‘Vital’ with pastel cream and single in 2006.
After investigation of the characteristics for four years (from 2006 to 2009), it was selected specially for the use of cut flower.
‘Noble Pink’ is a vigorous cultivar with pastel pink flower color (RHS R48B), brilliant green disc floret and semi-double. The average flower diameter is 11.8 cm, large flower. And inner ray floret and disc diameter are 4.77 cm and 2.17 cm, respectively.
It produces a large yield with continuous supply of cut flowers and has adequate peduncle height. We believe that 'Noble Pink'has a great potential for expanding cultivated area of domestic gerbera cultivars and increasing farmers-income.
