RHODODENDRON 'Alice Swift'
|
Hybridized/Introduced By: Yavorsky hybrid Parentage: ([mucronulatum x racemosum] x minus Carolinianum Group)
Description: 'Alice Swift' is a good grower with pink flowers; less lavender than PJM, and is clothed with the handsome leaves of its Carolinianum parent that remain green in winter. An early lepidote that carries the PJM color scheme later into the spring, thus escaping late season frosts. 'Alice's' ability to tolerate drier situations was demonstrated by the original plant, which grew in the sandy soil surrounding breeder Leon Yavorsky's house in nearby Howell Township.
