With lovely pure creamy white flowers this pretty plant flowers in April. It is tough and very floriferous - a very popular plant that forms a neat dwarf mound. Height 40-60cm 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 is a tough plant and we think one of the best white varieties. One of the 'bird' series of dwarf hybrids bred at Glendoick in Scotland.

Recommended for containers, small gardens and front of borders.
