R. (AZALEA) DECIDUOUS atlanticum 'Marydel' |
||||
|
Hybridized/Introduced By: Polly Hill Parentage: Possibly a natural hybrid of R. atlanticum and R. periclymenoides Description: If you need a smaller native azalea, picture a plant with lush, blue-green leaves. Now add medium pink flowers almost totally covering this wonderful plant. Plus, a seductive scent, and you have 'Marydel'. Polly Hill found it in the wild in Delaware near the Choptank River and the town of Marydel. It was registered in 1979 as a natural hybrid of R. atlanticum (coastal or dwarf azalea) and R. periclymenoides (Pinxterbloom). It was assumed to be a natural hybrid because atlanticum is almost always white flowered. Taxonomists, however, see no influence of R. periclymenoides in the plant, except perhaps the pink flower. | ||||
