Rhododendron Yakushimanum ‘Crete

Crete Rhododendron

A variety renowned for its beauty and hardiness, ideal for gardens looking for a compact and decorative plant. Its flowers, a delicate pale pink with a darker heart, appear in spring, creating a subtle but elegant contrast with its evergreen foliage. The young leaves, bronze in spring, turn dark green in summer and take on a coppery or reddish hue in winter, providing visual interest all year round. Perfect for small hedges, borders or rock gardens. Cold hardy, this variety is particularly suited to areas where winters can be harsh. Regular watering, especially during dry periods, is recommended to maintain its health. A light pruning after flowering helps maintain a compact shape and encourages new growth.
