Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This color will "grab your attention". Bright, waxy florescent pink with a darker pink flair. These medium-sized trusses sit atop glossy green foliage.

Waxy fluorescent pink. This is the brightest color you will see in a flower. Its brilliance shines out from across the garden. A most unusual color. A vigorous grower, it buds heavily and boasts glossy green foliage. An exceptional rhododendron. ('Antoon van Welie' x 'Day Dream')
