| History | This new cultivar originated from a planned breeding program conducted by Robert Head and Lisa Jones Head in Long Creek, Oconee County, S.C. The objective of the breeding program is to create new compact evergreen Azalea plants having dense growth habit, large attractive flowers, flowers with good temperature tolerance, consistent remontant flowering during the spring, summer and autumn, good garden performance in high and low temperatures. The new plant originated from a cross-pollination made in 1996, of Rhododendron hybrida 'Robin Hill Congo', not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Rhododendron hybrida identified as code number RLH-1600-AC, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Azalea plant was discovered and selected as a single flowering plant within the progeny in a controlled greenhouse environment in Long Creek, Oconee County, S.C. |
| Lore | Though they are widely known as azaleas, azaleas are actually a specialized group of plants under the genus Rhododendron. |
