Rhododendron 'Lita'

Rhododendron 'Lita'

’Lita’ is one of the rhododendron varieties produced by Prof. Rihards Kondratovičs at Latvia University, Riika. Pollen from the English white-flowered Waterer variety, 'Mrs. P.D. Williams', was used on the Catawba rhododendron (R. catawbiense). ‘Lita’s’ blossoms combine its parents’ characteristics: they are wavy-edged and pink, with a strong yellow-green splotch inherited from the father.
