DESCRIPTION
Rhododendron minus × hanceanum is a broadleaf evergreen rhododendron that develops an upright, well-branched shrub with small, glossy leaves. In late spring, it bears clusters of funnel-shaped flowers in lilac to rich purple tones, often with darker shading in the throat. New foliage growth may emerge with a bronzy cast before settling into deep green for the season.
This hybrid can reach several feet in height and forms a sturdy, evergreen presence rather than a low mound. Its refined foliage, upright habit, and spring bloom make it well suited to woodland borders, mixed shrub plantings, and garden settings where subtle texture and early color are appreciated.
