A beautifully flowering evergreen shrub with a compact habit. The variety grows up to about 1.2 m. The plant originates from Asia. It is characterized by bell-shaped flowers, up to several centimeters long, gathered in inflorescences (sometimes containing several dozen individual flowers) with a diameter of up to 20 cm. The inflorescences appear at the ends of the shoots.

Usage: The leaves are large, leathery, shiny, and do not fall off in winter, but under the influence of cold, they may curl into a roll. Some varieties may be covered with a slight fuzz.

Flowering: The shrub blooms profusely from April to May. After blooming, the inflorescences should be removed, as leaving them on the shrub weakens it. The flowers are an intense red-pink color. The edges of the petals are wavy.

Care: Rhododendrons like loose soil mixed with peat and an acidic pH. The soil's moisture should be maintained. It is recommended to water them with rainwater.

Position: Rhododendrons prefer sheltered, semi-shady, and shady spots. When planting in full sun, it is necessary to use more peat in the substrate and maintain moisture to ensure more abundant flowering and optimal growth. It is good to plant them in groups. They can grow under large shrubs.
