Rhododendron 'Ever Red'

This is a new and highly sought-after hybrid from Ken Cox of Glendoick. This low-growing and compact plant has leaves that are dark reddish-purple and shiny on both surfaces – stunning. The dark red-purple flowers are rather sparsely produced but quite attractive when they appear. However, nobody is going to grow this outstanding foliage plant for its flowers! Best out of the hot sun but quite adaptable and striking if placed on a wall or similar situation where the leaves can be viewed with the sun shining through.
