Very unique. This species rhododendron that originated in Japan has a most unusual foliage and blossoms. An incredibly rich pink to lavender flower is accented by the highly charismatic and textured fluffy narrow leaves. The buds unwind like a corkscrew, which makes it a fascinating plant to watch throughout its blooming process.

Hardy to around 10°F when protected from windchill, this beauty can start blooming as early as March, but we have seen a wide window for its season. As a dwarf varietal, it typically doesn't grow to around 3' tall at maturity, which makes this an excellent plant to add texture and nuance to your garden. We recommend planting in partial shade.
