DESCRIPTION
Rhododendron augustinii var. chasmanthum ‘Tower Court’ is an evergreen shrub with narrow, dark green leaves forming a strong upright habit. In spring it produces clusters of lavender to soft blue-lavender flowers. The blossoms often display red spotting or flecks in the upper lobes of the corolla, giving a bright contrast. Bloom clusters sit above the foliage and attract bees and other pollinators during the main flowering season.
This selection derives from plants originally cultivated in British gardens, with the name ‘Tower Court’ linked to Tower Court Gardens in Great Britain. It comes from the augustinii subspecies chasmanthum, a group known from wild forms in western China. Its spring bloom and evergreen leaves make it a garden asset for woodland borders, mixed shrub plantings, or as a specimen where its soft floral colors can be appreciated.
