An outstanding and popular cultivar, characterized by its large panicles of mostly sterile flowers that emerge white and slowly change to a bright Neapolitan pink.  Midway in the colour change, half the panicle is white and half is pink, very similar to two of the colours of an Neopolitan Ice-cream.   The only down-side is that when young this cultivar has weak stems that struggle to support the weight of the flowers.  However with careful pruning to create a supportive framework it can trained to form a magnificent plant.
