This upright deciduous rhododendron blooms leafless in late February-early March. The light pink flowers are so welcome early in spring. Blooms with the earliest magnolias.
Hardy and "attractive winter and spring" (Krussman), this slender 3-5' shrub produces its showy deep rose-pink, 2", funnel-form flowers from January to March before it leafs out and before most plants are even thinking of flowers! S/M
