Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Over 65 years ago this simple cross was made by Harold Greer and it must have been an "epiphany' moment when it flowered. Perfect, gigantic trusses of a clear pink flowers with ruffled edges and dark pink spotting on the dorsal lobe. Awarded the first Superior Plant Award, the highest award possible for a rhododendron.

By: Bloom River Gardens

We are justly proud of this variety which was the first plant to win the Superior Plant Award, the highest award possible for a rhododendron. To see a plant in full flower is such an awe inspiring sight that it will not soon be forgotten. The trusses are absolutely gigantic and the clear shade of pink is beyond description. The foliage is large, wide and slightly twisted making a perfect combination with the trusses. Plant habit is compact and upright. Excellence all around! ('Countess of Derby' x 'Countess of Derby')
