Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Probably the first species rhododendron I grew when I started my own nursery in the 70's. Even after all these years has remained a favorite. Lightly scented trusses with a prominent blotch appear atop and along the branches on this twiggy upright. Equally appealing is the long, narrow blue-green foliage. Responds well to pruning.
