Rhododendron hybrid - Hotei x Lem's Cameo
Compact and low maintenance evergreen shrub with open growing habit. The foliage offers year round interest, flushed bronze-green colour when in bud and opening to reveal stunning glossy, deep-green leaves. In mid-spring, orange-red buds open to exhibit spectacular trusses of ruffled, ball-shaped flowers in amber-yellow. Prefers dappled sun and requires well-drained, humus-rich, acidic soil.
