Rhododendron vireya 'Dawn Chorus'

These tropical shrubs are semi-epiphytic, perching high in tree tops in the forests of South East Asia. Glossy lush mid-green foliage. New growth has a distinctive red flush. Compact and semi-spreading habit. Pink lobed flowers shading to a creamy yellow throat, delicate tonings. Flowering twice a year, autumn/winter and spring/summer. Prefers a warm semi-shaded site, protected from frost. Removing dead flowers encourages repeat flowering. Great for containers, performs best with restricted root growth.
