RHODODENDRON 'Giselle' |
||||
|
Hybridized/Introduced By: unknown Parentage: ('Lady Bligh' x yakushimanum) Description: Propagated extensively by the late Elmer Morris, a rhododendron mentor to many in the New Jersey area. Dick Gustafson had long been a champion of this hybrid and he had suggested this name for it after the famous ballet, as the flowers reminded him of a tutu. This has exceptionally large flowers and leaves for a yak hybrid. The buds emerge as glowing pink and eventually fade to white, but it's the size of the flowers and tight truss that make this one different. Plant habit is compact with a hint of indumentum on the leaves. It is reliably hardy and an all-around good performer. (name not registered) | ||||
