This is one of the few plants to ever be rated 5/5 by the Northwest Hybridizer's Group. 'Apricot Fantasy' has flowers that are light orange and meld with golden yellow, that will truly grab your attention. Superb foliage on an upright plant. This will surely be one that future rhododendrons will be measured against. ('Hotei' x 'Tropicana')
