Raspberry Pink to white Rhododendron (yaku) - Hoppy


Raspberry Pink to white Rhododendron (yaku) - Hoppy

Opening pale lavender, fading to pure white. Award of Merit 1977.

"Hoppy" is from group named the Seven Dwarfs...work of Percy Wiseman, the well-known hybridizer at Waterers. Seven dwarfs as in Snow White and seven Dwarfs . It is not a dwarf rhododendron as some nurseries are marketing it. Hoppy should be" Happy" but was mis labeled at the origin. I have Sneezy as well.
Deer likes Sneezy but not Hoppy (Happy).
