H. x intermedia originated from a cross of H. mollis and H. japonica. This hybrid was generated independently at various places in the world. Alfred Rehder described the hybrid first, based on a plant in the Arnold Arboretum in the USA. There are many cultivars under cultivation. The hybrid, H. x intermedia, is not grown as such.
