RHODODENDRON 'Cherry Cheesecake' |
||||
|
Hybridized/Introduced By: Briggs Nursery Parentage: (Tetraploid form of Hachmann's Charmant) Description: The flower is hard to describe; take a white base, paint the flowers edges red, then dab a large, deep maroon blotch on the upper lobe. Voila!!! That's Cherry Cheesecake! Briggs Nursery took 'Hachmann's Charmant', doubled the chromosomes and it now appears to be a different and better plant. We had stopped growing the original 'Charmant' because it made up into a lanky plant, even though the flower was sensational. This new version is compact, with very deep green leaves nd the same sensational flower. And yes, it does remind you of Cherry Cheesecake. | ||||
