RHODODENDRON 'Calsap'
|
Hybridized/Introduced By: Michener Parentage: ('Catalgla' X 'Sappho')
Description: One parent, 'Sappho', has a truss to die for. Unfortunately the rest of 'Sappho' lacks hardiness and plant shape. 'Calsap' has combined the hardiness of 'Catalgla' with 'Sappho' to produce a super hardy, well shaped, upright grower. It flaunts white flowers in a formal truss with the bold purple flare of 'Sappho' on the upper lobe. 'Calsap' sets a prodigious amount of seed and should be deadheaded after flowering to maintain its vigor. Wants to grow upright, but benefits from whacking it back when young. A show stopper!
