Product Description
Rhododendron Moerheim Lilac is a compact, evergreen shrub which is very free flowering. It is a tough, dense variety which produces trusses of up to three funnel shaped, cool-toned lilac/lavender/mauve coloured flowers from April-May, against a lush background of ovate, glossy dark green leaves which turn maroon in winter. Rhododendrons are happiest in a sunny or partially shaded, sheltered spot. Moerheim Lilac is a compact, neat grower which gives it a stylish, formal appearance. This means it is a great shrub for small city gardens or courtyards where space is at a premium. It is also small enough to slot nicely beneath taller shrubs in the border. Height 60cm, spread 80cm. 9cm pot plants supplied
