This compact, small-leaved rhododendron is ideal for patio pots and front of border positions. Its yellow-green flowers may not be as large as some of the other rhododendrons, but they appear in profusion early in the season, so it really puts on a great show when in bloom - while offering year-round form with its evergreen foliage. - Garden care: Avoid planting too deeply. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of leaf mould around the base of the plant each spring.
- Humans/Pets: Harmful if eaten
