Rhododendron 'Dolcemente' (H-3)

Sku #9532

A sweetly-colored, salmon-pink, ruffled rhododendron with a captivating yellow throat. An effective specimen for the landscape, with color to thrill in late spring and lush, deep green, glossy foliage that will provide interest throughout the year. Equally well-suited to mass plantings. Performs well in warmer locations.
