Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A hybrid special for its extended flowering time. It opens a few buds at a time over a long period. It gets its name from the fact that in the same year it won a trophy in both the early rhododendron show and the main show! The flowers are bright red in tight trusses. The foliage is long with very light indumentum, like its parent.
