Abstract:
A new and distinct variety of Rhodendron plant is provided that is believed to be a chance seedling of the `Purple Splendour` variety (non-patented in the United States). Attractive large bright deep purple blossoms are formed that are highlighted with white and delicate maroon spots on the throat. A well-branched compact and vigorous growth habit is exhibited. The winter hardness is good in U. S. D. A. Zone 5 and the dark green foliage has shown disease resistance during observations to date. Additionally, the new variety exhibits a good aptitude for rooting from mature cuttings.
