Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Darker orange and later blooming then 'Whitney's Orange'. The full-truss solid orange flowers delight the garden with their late blooms.

By: Bloom River Gardens

If you like 'Whitney's Orange', you'll love this! It's a deeper orange and it flowers later in the spring. It is a more upright growing plant with good shape. The solid orange flowers appear in a full truss to delight you after most rhododendrons are through flowering. Use this to extend the flowering season! The leaves are sharp pointed and a neat mistletoe green. (probably contains dichroanthum and a late flowering member of the Subsection Fortunea)
