Of all the rhododendrons I gave my mother over the years this was her favorite. It also remains one of mine. Small, electric blue flowers cover a bed of small, pointed, rich green leaves. Stays dense and can be pruned as a hedge. Choice.

The dense, small leaves of 'Blue Bird' create a finely textured plant in the garden. The plant will eventually grow to be about twice as wide as it is tall. Numerous, electric blue flowers cover this plant with bluebirds! (intricatum x augustinii)
