RHODODENDRON 'Weston's Aglo' |
||
|
Hybridized/Introduced By: Mezitt Parentage: (minus, compact selection X mucronulatum, pink flwd) Description: This related seedling of the better known 'Olga Mezitt' has enough differences to merit the use of both in the garden. It blooms about a week after PJM and a few days before 'Olga Mezitt'. The bright pink flowers are similar to 'Olga Mezitt', with a reddish throat, and yes, they are really pink and not the lavender-pink associated with PJM. It is a compact, lower growing plant and can be sheared back when young to get an even lower profile. The glossy aromatic foliage turns shades of deep red in the fall. 'Weston’s Aglo' can take a sunny location and in early spring creates a truly bright spot in the garden. (“Olga” spelled backwards is “Aglo.”) | ||||
