A vigorous, time-tested evergreen rhododendron known for its large trusses of lavender-purple flowers that fade to soft lilac in mid to late spring. Glossy dark green foliage and excellent cold hardiness make this a dependable choice for foundation plantings, woodland gardens, and mixed shrub borders.
