Group 13: Rhododendron williamsianum.
Rhododendron williamsianum is one of the best parents for hybridising, in order to obtain dwarf or semi-dwarf varieties. They are well-branched shrubs, up to 2 m. high, but often less than that. The leaves are typically oblong to orbicular, fresh green. Flowers bell-shaped, in loose trusses, usually pink, sometimes lilac, white or cream, never red or purple. Flowering season is April-May. Most varieties are good for plantations in the foreground of larger plants. All are winterhardy.
