Rhododendron 'XXL Lila Flame' is a striking new hybrid that stands out with its large, bicoloured blooms and tidy, compact growth habit. The plant produces eye-catching single flowers in soft lilac with deep purplish-red centres, reaching an impressive size of up to 9cm across. This low-maintenance evergreen offers year-round interest, with its vibrant foliage and stunning colour display in April and May, making it an ideal choice for brightening shady borders. Perfect for smaller gardens, it thrives in partial shade and acidic soil, or in containers filled with ericaceous compost, where it will add a splash of colour to your patio all year long. With a mature height and spread of 60-70cm (24-28in), it's an excellent choice for creating a colourful, compact focal point.
