Large orange-yellow flowers with bold dark-red spotting on recurved petals combine to make this flower really stand out. Large, glossy, dark leaves with strong branching help support those large trusses!

Large orange-yellow flowers with bold, dark-red spotting make up the flower of this rhododendron. This is a rather open plant with large, dark and shiny leaves. The flowers are very unusual and always attract comments. 'Viscy' is hardier than most orange hybrids. ('Diane' x viscidifolium)
