Rhododendron 'Wee Bee' | Wee Bee Rhododendron

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Rhododendron ‘Wee Bee’ is a dwarf evergreen shrub with a low, mounded habit and small, green leaves that can show a hint of bronze in cooler weather. In early to mid spring, dark pink buds open to rose-pink tubular-shaped flowers with frilled lobes. Blooms often show lighter blush-pink on the inside, that give a bright wash of color over the compact foliage.

‘Wee Bee’ has earned recognition including the RHS Award of Garden Merit and American Rhododendron Society awards. Its dwarf stature, neat habit, and cheerful spring flowers make it especially useful at the front of borders, in rock gardens, small spaces, and containers where its detail can be appreciated up close.
