Stunning pure white flowers flushed pink in bud in a loose truss of 3-4 in April. This is one of the first semi dwarf scented Rhododendrons hardy enough for most areas. Surprisingly bud hardy too, but we recommend a sheltered position. Height 75-100cm 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. One of the 'bird' series of dwarf hybrids bred at Glendoick in Scotland.
