RHODODENDRON 'Southland'
|
Hybridized/Introduced By: Auggie Kehr Parentage: (minus var. chapmanii X keiskei)
Description: A truly fine lepidote, 'Southland' has many good features. From chapmanii, it inherited heat and sun tolerance and from keiskei, cold hardiness and an interesting color. It is a semi-dwarf plant that forms a low dense mound of glossy medium green leaves slightly larger than its keiskei parent. 'Southland' is very floriferous with peachy to creamy pink flowers, a color that is a bit hard to describe, but very pleasing. All of these benefits coupled with hybrid vigor make 'Southland' a highly desirable early May blooming lepidote.
