Dwarf Rhododendron Wee Bee
Rhododendrons come in all shapes and forms, and for those with smaller gardens, it is the more compact cultivars that are more appealing. The family of dwarf rhododendron hybrids includes low-growing alpine plants that are particularly suited for rock gardens, raised beds, or any other limited space. One of its most popular varieties has to be the showy Rhododendron Wee Bee. This evergreen shrub with a naturally rounded bushy low-growing habit produces a profusion of red-pink blooms around April or May and will stand out in any landscape. The flowers are funnel-shaped, pale pink on the inside of the petals and a darker, more intensive pink hue outside with flashes of red down each lobe. Blossoms are borne in trusses up to 5, and beautifully contrasted by the evergreen foliage: the elliptic, flat medium green leaves provide a perfect backdrop.
The many qualities of the Dwarf Rhododendron Wee Bee are only confirmed by its popularity among gardeners and award-winning history: this evergreen rhododendron hybrid is the recipient of the Award of Garden Merit (AGM) by the Royal Horticultural Society.
