This is a semi-dwarf plant with leaves that are dark on top with pale undersides. Flowers open pink, then fade with age to almost white. Blooms midseason.

Buds of apple blossom pink open to white flowers with a hint of pink. This hybrid by Shammarello is part of his 'royalty' series which all came out of the same cross. Same great foliage as many other "yak" crosses with the leaves coated with indumentum.

This hybrid by Shammarello is part of his 'royalty' series which all came out of the same cross. This one shows buds of apple blossom pink, which open to white flowers with a touch of pink. "Yak" hybrids are well known for their beauty, good growth and foliage. 'Yaku Princess' is no exception when it comes to being a fine R. degronianum ssp. yakushimanum hybrid.

Apple-blossom pink blooms with green spotting smother this compact, bushy Yak hybrid in midseason. Flowers fade to white as they mature. The undersides of the leaves are covered with buff indumentum. Beautiful and reliable.
