R. 'Emily Allison' Japanese GardensI remember when I first saw this scrumptious rhododendron hybrid, it was the thickness of the petals that impressed me most. Because of this, the flowers last longer, and are less effected by rain. Hybridized by Halfdan Lem, the famous rhododendron hybridizer who created such highly rated plants as 'Lem's Cameo', 'Pink Walloper', 'Lem's Monarch', 'Isabel Pierce', and many more. The cross is 'J. H. van Nes x 'Loderi King George'. Hardy to zone 6b.
and the foliage is juvenile and POWDER BLUE
opening to masses of nice light blue flowers that are held in open plates
A nice new purple from the Fort Bragg area of California
Great for containers as well
but after that it may accelerate unless careful pruning is used to control the mature size
Grows to 15 ft tall in 10 years
and has purple leaf petioles
Native to China
The plant blooms very heavily in early spring
making an attractive addition to any landscape
giving the plant a 'bluish' color in the landscape
slightly rounded and presenting an attractive look
