Rhododendron 'Nancy Evans'
rhododendron 'Nancy Evans'
Rounded green leaves, which have a copper flush when young, offer year-roud interest. It's in mid- to late spring however that this rhododendron really dazzles, as that's when the clusters of orange buds open to gently ruffled yellow flowers, many of which have a hint of apricot on their petals. An award-winning variety, it makes a sublime addition to a partially shaded border.
