RHODODENDRON 'Dexter's Giant Red' |
||
|
Hybridized/Introduced By: Dexter Parentage: (parentage unknown) Description: This was originally known as Dexter Estate #431. The showy buds open to a bright red and fade to dark rose pink with a red blotch and red spotting. The truss is huge — about 7 inches high with 4 inch flowers — and the leaves are 6 inches long and 2 inches wide, so the name “Giant” is appropriate. This is a large growing shrub which tends to be a bit open when young, but fills in at maturity. ‘Dexter’s Giant Red’ is a spectacular highlight for the back of a rhododendron border. | ||||
