Product Description
Rhododendron 'Dusty Miller' in 9cm Pot, Magnificent Creamy Pink Flowers
'Dusty Miller' is a compact evergreen shrub with dark, glossy leaves. It produces pink flushed cream flowers in Spring-Summer.
The fuzz on the leaves lends to the silvery appearance they have and is one of the prized ornamental characteristics of some rhododendrons. The fine hairs on the underside of the leaf is known as Indumentum, then the fine fuzzy hairs on the topside of the leaf is 'tormentum' - this can be wiped off if desired but this wooly appearance is actually rather desirable contributing to insect pest resistance and drought tolerance as well.
