Foliage & Habit: Features dense, dark green foliage. The plant’s overall habit is vigorous, upright, and compact, growing wider than it is tall, making it highly suitable for foundation plantings and informal hedges.
Bloom Time: Flowers in the mid-to-late spring (typically October to November in New Zealand).
Hardiness: Excellent cold hardiness and is known to tolerate more exposed or difficult areas than many other rhododendron varieties.
