Rhododendron - ponticum hybrid
Auguste van Geert is a tall and hardy evergreen shrub with vigorous growth habit and dull-green foliage.
In late-spring, loose rounded trusses of gorgeous magenta-red flowers adorn the bush in a sea of colour. The lobes are wavy-edged with a slight blackish red spotting on the throat.
Requires a position with dappled sunlight and well-draining, humus-rich, acidic soil.
