Rhododendron Saxon Blush
Botanical
Rhododendron vireya
Description
The ‘Saxon’ rhododendrons are real beakthrough in the vireya species. Crossed with a near groundcover type, ‘Saxon Blush’ is very compact in habit, and with shorter internodes, displays a much tighter habit than the species. Beautiful soft salmon flowers with lighter throats and a compact form make it ideal for small urban gardens and container work. Blooming on and off throughout the year, it would make quite a statement in mass on a hilly bush section. Frost Tender. 0.6 x 0.6m.
