Rhododendron carolinianum 'Elite Star'
Rhododendron carolinianum 'Elite Star' is a compact, evergreen rhododendron admired for its eye-catching late spring display of star-shaped purple-pink flowers. Held in neat clusters above glossy, dark green foliage, the blooms create a vibrant yet refined contrast that brings colour and structure to the garden.
