Rhododendron 'Lord Roberts' Shrub
This award-winning upright evergreen shrub is one of the very best of its kind for showiness and intense crimson colour. In spring and summer Rhododendron 'Lord Roberts' grows trusses of large, funnel-shaped flowers in a magnificent shade of red with dark red/black speckles. Forming a dense and bushy upright habit, its evergreen foliage, which is thick and glossy, creates year-round interest and makes Rhododendron 'Lord Roberts' an ideal choice of hedge or screen. It also makes an excellent specimen plant.
Considered one of the toughest and hardiest Rhododendron available, 'Lord Roberts' prefers a sheltered and partially shaded position, as well as an acidic and moist well-draining soil type. Will reach an approximate height and spread of 2 x 2 metres in 20 years.
