Rhododendron 'Patty Bee' 3L

Rhododendron 'Patty Bee' is a compact, dwarf evergreen shrub known for its delightful pale yellow flowers that bloom in mid-spring. It grows to about 45-60 cm tall and spreads up to 90 cm, making it an excellent choice for small gardens or rockeries. Its evergreen foliage turns bronze in winter, adding year-round interest.

For best results, plant 'Patty Bee' in well-drained, acidic soil with plenty of organic matter, such as ericaceous compost. It thrives in partial shade but can also tolerate full sun. Regular watering is essential, particularly in hot conditions, but ensure the roots don't sit in water. Light pruning after flowering can help maintain its shape.

This variety is particularly hardy, capable of withstanding cold down to -15°C, and is loved for its low maintenance and pollinator-friendly blooms.
