Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Giant, 10" tall, pastel pink trusses with thick, deep green leaves. One of these days I'll need to put the picture of me and the boss's daughter, dressed for the prom, having our picture taken in front of a large 'Cotton Candy'.
'Cotton Candy's' 10" tall, pastel pink trusses cause people to stare in amazement. It is a robust grower with thick, deep green leaves. Few rhododendrons are as breathtaking when in flower. It is superb! ('Loderi Venus' x 'Marinus Koster')
