Description
Rhododendron pruniflorum Small compact evergreen shrubs with smooth and peeling dark brown bark. The leaves are whitish on their lower sides with brown scales. The flowers (mid-spring) are dull crimson to plum-purple and shaped like little flattened bells. Best in partially shaded or even woodland conditions. A charming dwarf species rarely seen in cultivation. Glaucous purple bells and a very dwarf and compact habit on this fine selection. One of my favorite plants in the garden. (+5\R1\2) RSBG#1975/229
