DESCRIPTION
Rhododendron 'Fire Rim' produces broad trusses of creamy yellow flowers edged in warm orange to reddish coral, blooming in mid to late spring. Elliptical leaves are dark green, leathery, and evergreen, forming a dense canopy. The flowers are carried prominently at the branch tips, with gently ruffled petals and golden throats that add texture and depth during the bloom season. Coral-toned buds contribute additional color before the flowers fully open.

Originating through hybrid breeding, this cultivar reflects selection focused on warm flower coloration and ornamental performance. It is well suited to woodland borders, foundation plantings, and specimen settings, where its evergreen framework and spring bloom provide lasting seasonal interest and visual appeal.
