- Rhododendron Cosmopolitan is a medium-sized compact, evergreen perennial that has long narrow glossy green leaves. During the Springtime, in particular around May this shrub produces rounded trusses of pale pink flowers, with deep red markings becoming paler with time. Unlike other Rhododendrons, this variety is prone to reflowering in the Autumn.
- If looking to produce a hedge of Rhododendron, this variety is ideal as it has a particularly dense growing habit. It is also suited for containers, growing in small spaces or in borders.
