Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Large bright red trusses. Deep bronze-red new growth.

By: Thompson's Nursery

A beautiful bright red on very large, perfect trusses. The large foliage is waxy and deep forest green, making a plant of utmost beauty. It may be hardier than rated, as it bloomed perfectly after the winter of 1990 when many rhododendrons which should be hardy to -25oF lost their buds. Its parentage makes this one a real winner.
