Where winters are warm this is a great red-flowered plant.

By: Bloom River Gardens

Very early in the year before almost any other rhododendron begins to flower, this luscious red will burst into flower. Its very vigorous growing with lots of good large foliage. If you live in a climate warm enough for this plant and have the space to grow it, you'll find this plant is a "must" for your garden. (arboreum x 'Shilsonii')
