Its large pink flowers open from purple-red buds in early June. The edges of the petals are darker, and the upper petal is spotted with dark red.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Marketta&#8217;, a cross between two hybrids growing at Mustila, was planted in the Arboretum about 1980 with other plants in trials related to a breeding programme. It wasn\u2019t named as a variety until 2005. The colour and form of the flowers, together with the foliage, show similarities to Smirnow\u2019s rhododendron (<em>R<\/em>. <em>smirnowii<\/em>), from which \u2018Marketta\u2019 has probably also inherited its winter hardiness.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Marketta&#8217; grows robustly, achieving about 1,5m in a decade. After this, growth slows. The original shrub has stopped growing at about 2 metres. It flowers abundantly every year, despite being in fairly deep shade.<\/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;Marketta&#8217;<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":7897,"template":"","alueet":[],"kasvilajit":[1095,1923],"class_list":["post-15443","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\/15443","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\/7897"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15443"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"alueet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/alueet?post=15443"},{"taxonomy":"kasvilajit","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kasvilajit?post=15443"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
