DESCRIPTION
Rhododendron ‘Turacao’ is an evergreen rhododendron with a tidy, mounding habit and small, deep green leaves that hold their shape year-round. In spring, it produces an abundance of bright pink flowers in clusters, bringing a concentrated burst of color just as the garden shifts into the main bloom season.

‘Turacao’ combines refined foliage with free-flowering spring performance, making it well suited to woodland-style borders, containers, and front-of-bed plantings where its spring bloom can be appreciated up close.

    Design Tip:
    Bring ‘Turacao’ toward the front of a layered planting, where its low mounding form can define the transition to taller shrubs behind it. Repeating several plants along the bed creates continuity without introducing a rigid or overly formal appearance.
