Rhododendron Purpureum Grandiflorum
Purpureum Grandiflorum Rhododendron
Introduced more than 150 years ago but still well worth growing for its exceptional cold-hardiness and colorful blooms, this Waterer Hybrid bears showy rounded clusters of medium purple flowers from mid- to late spring. The wide-flaring, funnel-shaped blooms have a golden orange blotch on their upper lobe.
