Rhododendron 'Baden-Baden'

Rhododendron 'Baden-Baden' is a small evergreen rodo with a bushy, compact and widely spreading shape. The leaves are small, glossy, elliptical in shape with a dark green leaf color with a lighter underside. This rhodo blooms from February with small funnel-shaped lilac purple flowers grouped in small clusters. Rhododendron prefers a location in filtered sunlight or partial shade, sheltered from harsh winds and with a shaded root zone. It requires an acidic, moist, well-drained soil that should never be allowed to dry out completely, requires little pruning and is hardy, although the flowers are more sensitive to frost.
