Rhododendron protistum giganteum is the largest of all rhododendrons, developing to a very large, rounded shape, growing in some cases up to 25 meters tall.
It has leathery leaves which are enormous, sometimes as large as 56x25cms.
It produces large trusses of cream, purple or rose pink flowers in early springtime and is a splendid sight when in full bloom.
Best suited to larger gardens with mixed larger trees to provide the dappled shade it prefers.
