Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Imagine a rhododendron with flowers even more yellow and larger than those of 'Crest', with better foliage, better habit, and you have 'Sunspray'. The voluptuous trusses are such a pure and true yellow that they would put a lemon to shame. Lovely wide leaves 6" long fully clothe the branches, and they don't have the tendency to roll and droop in the winter the way 'Crest' does. ('Alice Franklin' x 'Crest')
