Although not a new hybrid in the world of rhododendrons, it is new to us. This rich, dark-purple flowering rhododendron is unique because it is grows more low and compact than most purple flowering rhodies that we are familiar with. This plant will grow to 4 ft. tall and 5 ft. wide in 10-15 years. The foliage has an interesting twist to it, and is a nice rich dark-green in color. Flower description: Vivid purple flowers, shading to strong purplish-red in the center, with prominent black flares on the upper lobes. The habit is dense, and will bud heavily every year. |
