Rhododendron ( Hino Supreme Kurume Azalea )
The Kurume hybrid azaleas of Japan owe their pedigree to several specie of deal azaleas , preponderantly R. sataense with R. kiusianum . Formerly , the Kurume hybrids were grouped under R. obtusum , but modernistic horticulturists now consider R. obtusum a hybrid and not a separate coinage . ‘ Hino Supreme ’ is an improved form of ‘ Hinode Giri . ’ Dense , upright , evergreen plant shrub with small , 1 1/4 inch long , elliptic , glossy , olive dark-green leaves ....
