RHODODENDRON 'Rhondo' |
||||
|
Hybridized/Introduced By: Perhaps a Shapiro plant Parentage: (mucronulatum hybrid-deciduous lepidote) Description: Shocking-pink flowers produced in profusion on a vigorous, very hardy mucronulatum derivative. We have been growing 'Rhondo' for about 10 years, and thought it came from the Shapiros in New Brunswick, N. J., but now we are unsure of its origin, and know little else about its history. What we CAN say is that 'Rhondo' is blessed with a tough constitution, and is among the first of any rhododendrons to bloom in the spring. It will be hit by a frost in some years, but it loses a few buds, shakes it off undaunted, and continues to flower. Don’t be afraid to shape it a bit; it will respond to shearing with enhanced “bushyness.” | ||||
