R. 'Great Balls of Fire'

New from Danny Bones, this flashy pinky-red rhododendron has a perfect 'ball' truss, so it can have this name. The leaves are dark-green on a lush and full plant. There is a deciduous azalea by this name, so don't mistake this one for that. Hardy to zone 8, and you can be sure that if you plant one, at bloom time you will be singing "goodness gracious, great-balls-of-fire"
