Rhododendron
Masses of pale to mid-pink, funnel-shaped flower
| Masses of pale to mid-pink, funnel-shaped flowers in early spring and small, dark green leaves. This semi-dwarf, evergreen rhododendron is perfect for a sunny, rock garden with humus-rich, acid soil. Sadly, it`s really suitable for warm areas of the country only, since the magnificent flowers and foliage are vulnerable to damage from early frosts.Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: moist, well-drained, humus-rich, acid soil or ericaceous compostRate of growth: average Flowering period: MarchFlower colour: pinkOther features: evergreenHardiness: fully hardy Garden care: Avoid planting too deeply.
