Shamarello. With trusses of large white flowers dotted with a golden yellow blotch it is regarded as the best white-flowered hybrid in the Southeast US. Both parents have genes from <em>R. catawbiense<\/em>, and the shrub resembles the well known &#8216;Catawbiense Grandiflorum&#8217; in its leaves and growth. In favourable conditions &#8216;Belle Heller&#8217; will grow to a height of about 1.5 metres in 10 years.<\/p>\n<p>There is not yet much growing experience of &#8216;Belle Heller&#8217; in Finland due to poor availability. The flower buds tend to get frostbitten in South Ontario and it is doubtful whether the hybrid will survive without a protective snow cover. &#8216;Belle Heller&#8217; has nevertheless been growing at Mustila Arboretum since the early years of the 21st century, so far overwintering well below a thick layer of snow, and it has sometimes even flowered.<\/p>\n<aside id=\"keywords\">\n<h2>Keywords<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"ryhmittely\">Lehtipuut ja -pensaat<\/li>\n<li class=\"plants\"><a href=\"\" hreflang=\"und\">Rhododendron<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"plants\"><a href=\"\" hreflang=\"und\">Rhododendron &#8216;Belle Heller&#8217;<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6874,"template":"","alueet":[],"kasvilajit":[1095,1923],"class_list":["post-15184","kasvit","type-kasvit","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","kasvilajit-deciduous_trees_and_shrubs","kasvilajit-alppiruusut-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kasvit\/15184","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kasvit"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/kasvit"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6874"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15184"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"alueet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/alueet?post=15184"},{"taxonomy":"kasvilajit","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kasvilajit?post=15184"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
