R. (AZALEA) DECIDUOUS 'Admiral Semmes' |
||
|
Hybridized/Introduced By: Dodd & Dodd Parentage: ('Hotspur Yellow' X austrinum) Description: The Confederate Series of deciduous azaleas was introduced by Dodd & Dodd Nurseries, Semmes, Alabama. An excellent large-flowered Exbury Azalea was crossed with the heat-tolerant, native Florida Azalea, R. austrinum, and the results are large-flowered, fragrant, heat tolerant cultivars. R. 'Admiral Semmes' was named after the famous Confederate Admiral Raphael Semmes whose record of 87 ships sunk or captured remains unbroken to this day. The plant bears beautiful medium yellow-flowers with deeper dorsal flares and pleasing fragrance in May. Very lustrous dark green leaves turn orange-bronze in fall. The handsome leaves are exceptionally mildew free. | ||||
