Rhododendron Vireya Java Rose

Rhododendron Java Rose is a compact-growing, evergreen bush with deep-orange flowers that have frilled red margins. Removing dead flowers encourages repeat flowering. Prefers a warm semi-shaded position protected from frosts. The Vireya group is known for its tropical origins, making them more suitable for warmer climates compared to traditional rhododendrons that thrive in cooler regions. Plant in loose-textured, free-draining, moisture-retentive acidic soil in good light but not harsh sunlight. Avoid compressing soil around the roots and planting in areas prone to high winds. Great for containers, performs best with restricted root growth. Height 1.3m.
