Rhododendron 'Blue Tit Magor'

Rhododendron 'Blue Tit Magor' is a medium-sized evergreen rhodo with a bushy, compact shape. The leaves are small, glossy, elliptical in shape with a dark green leaf color with a lighter underside. This Rhodo already blooms in April and May with small funnel-shaped lavender-blue to purple flowers grouped per 3 or 5 in small trusses. Rhododendron prefers a location in filtered sunlight or partial shade, sheltered from strong 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.
