Soft pale yellow flowers flushed apricot in a good neat truss that flower in early May. A gorgeous plant with prominent white buds all winter and excellent dark green foliage with light brown indumentum below. This plant was raised by David's father, Ted Millais. Height 140-160cm in 10 years. It does require some shelter from cold winter breezes.
As with all yellow Rhododendrons, this plant needs good drainage (but not dry conditions!).
