Bright red flowers.

By: Thompson's Nursery

Watching this plant grow is a joy because it is so strong stemmed and vigorous. Each new leaf seems even more lush and leathery than the last. The flowers are BRIGHT RED, absolutely huge and are set on top of a swirl of deep green, thick, waxy leaves. The weight of the giant trusses is held high by the heavy stems. It is a worthwhile rhododendron that will pass the test of time. ('Loderi Venus' x 'Anna')
