Rhododendron ‘Weston’s Innocence’ – Deciduous Azalea – 5-Gallon

Beginning in the 1930s, Ed Mezitt at Weston Nurseries in Massachusetts began hybridizing native azaleas, selecting for cold hardiness, summer bloom and fragrance. ‘Weston’s Innocence’ is a hybrid  of two white-flowered native azaleas, Smooth Azalea (R. arborescens) and Swamp Azalea (R. viscosum) so it’s not surprising it has white flowers. The flowers have inherited Swamp Azalea’s wonderful fragrance.
