RHODODENDRON 'Pearce's American Beauty'
|
Hybridized/Introduced By: Pearce in the 1930s, named by Watson, 1983 Parentage: (possibly 'Mrs. C. S. Sargent' X 'Dr. H. C. Dresselhuys')
Description: The compact, full truss sits closely on an "Elizabethan" collar of leaves. The foliage is dark green and especially wide. The effect is formal, but the neon deep rose color is definitely NOT! Impossible to walk past without stopping. This is a robust grower which is becoming more popular. It's a wonder that some good things take so long to catch on.
