T26. Rhododendron 'Hong Kong'
Rhododendron (cultivar)
Hardiness: USDA 5–8
Partial Shade
Moist Soil
7 feet tall
Bred for cold hardiness, this tall, attractive hybrid rhododendron offers an upright, well-branched habit and flat, glossy yellow-green leaves. Pale yellow flowers appear in late spring, each one with a bright greenish-yellow blotch in its throat. Grow the plant in moist but well-drained leafy, humus-rich acidic soil and partial shade. In hot areas, 'Hong Kong' can be susceptible to leaf dieback.
