About
A hybrid between Rhododendron neriiflorum and another species, combining R. neriiflorum's characteristic, long, tubular, scarlet-red, waxy flowers with improved hardiness or vigour from the other parent, forming a compact, evergreen shrub with small, leathery, dark green leaves with pale buff-felted undersides. A choice red-flowered rhododendron for a sheltered, moist, acidic woodland garden.
