Description

Very disease resistant. Dandy Man® Purple rhododendron is a hard-working hybrid from Joe Parks that has proven itself hardy in Maine and New Hampshire. You'll love the rich purple blooms, but you will really appreciate the R. pseudochrysanthum genes which give it an extremely high level of phytophthora resistance. Pretty and tough, this shrub delivers!
