RHODODENDRON 'Minas Grand Pre'
|
Hybridized/Introduced By: Kentville Research Station (Nova Scotia) Parentage: (catawbiense 'Compactum' x williamsianum)
Description: Flowers are bell shaped and a charming pale pink with a tinge of lilac in lax trusses of 10. The foliage is like williamsianum: small and rounded in shape. New foliage is an attention-getting copper color. Use it as a foreground plant or in the rock garden as an accent plant. It's new, but seems heat tolerant and a great addition to our repertoire of unusual rhododendrons.
