Wonderful shell pink bell shaped flowers in loose trusses in April - May. This is a delightful dwarf shrub with small orbicular (rounded) leaves that are particularly distinctive. The leaves are bronze when young. It grows into a super dome shaped mound. Height and spread 30-40cm in 10 years.

Dwarf Rhododendrons don't mind the sun but they hate too much heat, so do avoid reflected heat from South facing walls and patios, particularly if planting in containers. This one likes a sunny position and not ideal for frost pockets. One of our favourite plants that is the parent of many fine compact hybrid Rhododendrons.
