Excellent for smaller gardens and urban applications. Yakushimanum hybrid. Evergreen. Shade or part shade. Moderate growth to 4 feet tall and as wide. Rhododendron x 'Dreamland'; Orchid-like blossoms are almost tropical appearing on vigorous, hardy plants. Tidy compact form is perfect for foundations, fence lines and as informal hedges. Flowers heavily midseason with large clusters of vivid pink buds that open to pale pink blossoms tinged with magenta. Olive green foliage is tightly packed for excellent form. Partial sun. Moderate grower to 4 feet tall and wide. Rhododendron x 'Looking Glass'; This pink flowering shrub with increased hardiness is abundant with rose-red buds that open to deep pink growing lighter as they age.
