Yaku Angel' has longer, narrower convex leaves than most 'yaks'. It buds younger and heavier, and grows easier. In fact, even tiny plants will be covered with buds. When not in flower, it is the most attractive plant in the garden. While it is pink in bud, it opens to the whitest flower of all rhododendrons. This is a must for your 'yak' collection, or, if you have room for only one, this is THE ONE!
