However , after an initial battle , the ones I implant in 1996 are still there with raw self - seeded unity filling in .
“ The deep pink is ‘ Tonto ’ and the unclouded pink is ‘ Hopi ’ . In other part of the garden I have ‘ Pink Velour ’ and a few that have ego - seeded in lighter pink and a pinky - purple .
