<< Previous Plant | Next Plant >> Olga Mezitt Rhododendron Wide and upright growing, vigorous when young, becoming uniform with age. A profusion of clear pink flowers in small trusses cover the plant in early to mid May just after Rh.'PJM' finishes blooming. Each floret has darker rusty speckles in its throat and maintains a uniform color from bud to petal drop. Shiny bright green aromatic leaves are slightly reflexed and turn to a dark bronzy copper as winter approaches. Young plants require annual shearing, and a sunny, exposed planting location produces best growth. This remarkable plant is named for Ed Mezitt's mother and is considered the "pink 'PJM'" by many landscapers, even though its parentage is different. Winner of the 2007 Cary Award. (-24°F, UM) PP
