Rhododendron April
Mist

Type: Semi-evergreen shrub
Height: 4-5
Hardiness: Zone 4-9
Light requirements: Part shade
Bloom Color: Very light pink w/lavender
An very early blooming
Rhododendron that is good for the cold northeast. When kept protected from
winter wind and sun, April Mist will be covered with delightfully dainty light
pink blooms in late April to early May. Will hold its foliage through most
winters in the proper location. Like a slightly moist, well drained, acid
soil.
