Rhododendron hybrid ‘Tortoise Orange’

Striking, vibrant, and compact, Rhododendron ‘Tortoise Orange’ is a hardy evergreen hybrid that brings a splash of colour to late spring gardens. Its dense, bushy habit and glossy foliage provide year-round structure, ideal for borders, woodland plantings, or as a specimen shrub.
