Properties and uses:
The Rhododendron 'Virginia Richards' has a beautiful blossom in April-May, with pink buds turning salmon as they mature. Its dense, glossy foliage and its compact shape make it the ideal candidate to grow in a pot, on a shady terrace. It can also be grown in a flowering border, associated to other heath-peat loving plants such as Azaleas, Camellias and other Rhododendrons.
