Description
Genus and species: Rhododendron sp.
Variety Denomination: ‘MNIHAR010’.
The present invention is a new and distinct variety of evergreen Azalea of the genus Rhododendron. This new Azalea, hereinafter referred to as ‘MNIHAR010’, was discovered in 1985 in Lawrenceville, Ga. ‘MNIHAR010’ originated from a planned cross hybridization between the female azalea plant ‘Cherie’ (also known as ‘V 12-4’) (unpatented) and the male azalea plant ‘Indian Summer’ (unpatented) in a controlled environment in Lawrenceville, Ga. The present invention has a unique blooming period, growth habit, and cold hardiness.
Asexual propagation of the new plant by semi-hardwood cuttings was performed at a nursery in Dearing, Ga. The new plant retains its distinctive characteristics and reproduces true to type in successive asexual propagations by semi-hardwood cuttings.
The following are the most outstanding and distinguishing characteristics of this new cultivar when grown under normal horticultural practices in Dearing, Ga.
-
- 1. Spring and fall blooming;
- 2. Attractive, showy, dark pink flowers;
- 3. Numerous single and semi-double flowers;
- 4. Easily propagated by semi-hardwood cuttings in late spring through summer;
- 5. Fast growth rate under normal fertilization and moisture conditions;
- 6. Upright, dense, and compact nature;
- 7. Grows well in containers;
- 8. Thrives in shade or sun; and
- 9. Hardy in Zone 6.
This new Azalea hybrid variety is illustrated by the accompanying photographs which show buds, flowers, immature foliage and mature foliage. The colors shown are as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic means. The photographs are of plants that are 4-years old, grown in three-gallon containers in October in 2009 in Dearing, Ga.
The following is a detailed description of the new variety of Azalea based on observations made of 4-year-old plants grown in a three-gallon containers according to wholesale commercial production conditions under full-sun and in an evaluation bed under semi-shade conditions in Dearing, Ga. in spring, summer, and fall in 2009. The colors of the various plant parts are detailed with reference to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (2001).
