Rhododendron 'Fantastica'

Canon EOS 6D - f/3.5 - 1/160sec - 100mm - ISO 100

 

- Rhododendron 'Fantastica'

This prolific bloomer is not as garish as some bicolors. Its flowers appear in late May and are deep rose pink fading to white in the throat, accented by light citron-green spots.

Bicolor rhododendrons have a contrasting color along the edge of each petal-either a thin "picotee" edge or a gradual shading. This two-tone coloration adds drama and texture to the garden.

It has long, elliptic leaves with a white-wooly indumentum beneath.
