Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Lilac-pink trusses with a light yellow flair. This plant though, is probably requested more for its variegated foliage then its flower. Considered by many to be a stronger and healthier plant than the variegated 'President Roosevelt'.

By: Bloom River Gardens

In the world of rhododendrons there are few variegated varieties. This plant has variegated foliage similar to the well known 'President Roosevelt, but with stronger, healthier stems that are less prone to fall over or break. Beautiful lilac-pink flowers will cover this plant from a young age. (sport of catawbiense or ponticum)
