RHODODENDRON 'Pioneer Silvery Pink'
|
Hybridized/Introduced By: Hoogendorn Nurseries Parentage: ('Pioneer' seedling)
Description: This lepidote blooms about two weeks after its 'Pioneer' (mid-April) seed parent and thereby misses those occasional pesky late spring frosts. It is upright growing and fills out beautifully with larger leaves that suggest an R.minus (carolinianum) heritage. The flowers are a wonderful soft pink that cover the plant. You'll enjoy it not only as a featured plant during its blooming time, but also as a beautiful shrub year-round.
