RHODODENDRON 'Gigi'
|
Hybridized/Introduced By: Dexter Parentage: (unknown x unknown)
Description: Quite the showstopper, with vivid rose-red flowers spotted with a deeper red. Blooms are funnel-shaped, with wavy lobes, 3 1/4" across, held in a ball-shaped truss of 15-18 flowers. Leaves are 4 1/2" long, moderate olive-green, retained 3 years. Broad, dense habit. Prefers a shady location. One of the few red Dexter hybrids, 'Gigi' was originally notated as Ross G.G. It's easy to see the source of its ultimate name.
