Rose-red buds open yellow with tangerine edging forming large ball-shaped trusses. A background of waxy, densely packed, dark green leaves make it a beautiful plant year-round.

Came from our late propagator Art Wright many years ago. The rhododendron has deep dark green glossy foliage on a 6-8’ shrub. In April to May the large trusses are lovely golden yellow.
