Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This fantastic rhododendron, which was hybridized by the late Dr. Carl Phetteplace and grown by us, is something we think you will enjoy. It has warm orange flowers appearing as crowns on top of a plant with great foliage, and good habit. There are always loads of buds, and it buds young. We realize we're prejudiced, but this is a good one! ('Dido' x 'Fawn')

Warm salmon-orange toned flowers.
