Nursery contributed plant descriptions

These 7 lobed flowers have light lavender purple margins and fade to ochre through the throat and deep red at the base of the flower, accented by deep red spotting on the dorsal lobe. An unusual and lovely color combination. True to name these trusses are full dome shaped and ruffly as one might expect. Just in case you need another reason to buy this rhody it is a fragrant hybrid, and has glossy green leaves you will enjoy year-round. ('Scintillation' x 'Mary Belle')
