Nursery contributed plant descriptions

One of several new rhododendrons being released or soon to be from the late Harold Greer. Searing hot, red colored flowers with densely packed wavy edges form ball-shaped trusses atop dark green, glossy leaves that are heavily puckered and prominent veining. If "red" is your color scheme, this is the rhododendron for you.
