Comments: Wow!! The new growth on this outstanding Ken Cox hybrid could be the darkest red-purple leafed rhododendron yet. Doesn't bloom often, but when it does the small, bell-shaped flowers are a deep red. Planted on a slope or raised garden bed enables one to view the brilliant colored leaf undersides.
