Rhododendron - Australian hybrid
A compact, evergreen shrub with rounded habit and oblong dark-green foliage. A dazzling feature is the colourful new growth which appears in a bronze-red colour. Perfect for growing under trees as they require some protection from the hot sun.
In spring, copious trusses of pink buds open to creamy-white flowers with frilly edges. Keep moist, especially in hot weather.
Requires well-draining, humus-rich, acidic soil.
