RHODODENDRON `MARDI GRAS`

Even without flowers you’d be intrigued by this selection with its distinctly dense, spreading form and its superb foliage, deep green and lustrous backed by reddish-brown indumentum. Add in impressively sized flower trusses with pale, purplish-pink flowers with a darker edge and you have a rhododendron package that will stand out anywhere. Since it is so dense and compact, it’s perfect for a smaller space and even a foundation area with a partially shaded exposure.
