RHODODENDRON 'Judy Spillane'
|
Hybridized/Introduced By: Dr. John Wister, Tyler Arboretum Parentage: (maximum X 'John Wister' [aka 'Janet Blair'])
Description: One of John Wister's better hybrids, grown at the Tyler Arboretum and named after an employee there. One of the best maximum hybrids available, 'Judy Spillane' shows the best attributes of both parents. She blooms late (end of May/early June), with light pink flowers aging to a creamy white and set off by a prominent yellow-green blotch. Spherical trusses of 14 florets adorn dense foliage on a plant of rounded growth habit, set off by flat olive-green leaves. The heavy flower substance stands up to late season heat, making this an excellent choice to extend garden bloom time.
