CRETE YAKUSHIMA RHODODENDRON
Rhododendron yakushimanum 'Crete' is commonly referred to as Crete Rhododendron. It is a compact, low mounding, broadleaf evergreen shrub with magenta buds that open to clusters of shell pink trumpet-shaped flowers that fade to white in mid Spring. Narrow, dark green evergreen leaves keep their color through the winter.
Crete Rhododendron is low maintenance and thrives in partial sun in rich, fertile, acidic, evenly moist, well-drained soils. It will not tolerate standing water. It is perfect for smaller landscapes, foundation plantings and would look gorgeous in a deck container.
