In the wild species of dwarf Rhododendron cover huge areas of moorland and mountainside in western China and the Himalaya. In the garden we make do with a few plants, but their range of colour (mainly pinks and purples, but including white, yellow and red) and their reliable flower power make them invaluable for sites that are not too dry or (with some exceptions) too alkaline.
Rhododendron 'Ginny Gee' has bright pink buds which open to palest pink flowers. It has dense green leaves, forming a cushion-like habit - really compact.
