It is a very compact, dome-shaped, small evergreen shrub with dark spotted, light pink flowers in spring that quickly turn pure white. Glossy, olive green leaves have a thick felted covering of fawn hairs on the brown undersides that curve downwards.
Koichiro Wada Rhododendron is easy to grow and thrives in partial sun in rich, fertile, acidic, evenly moist, well-drained soils.
