Rhododendron 'Golden Gate'

This striking rhododendron cultivar produces funnel-shaped blooms in reddish-pink with distinctive orange-rose margins and a pale orange centre, arranged in open trusses of approximately ten flowers per cluster. The plant develops obovate, glossy mid-green foliage with a cuneate base and apiculate tip, persisting for three seasons. Its dense, compact growth habit reaches approximately three feet at maturity, making it well-suited for mixed borders and woodland gardens where its refined colour palette and restrained size offer year-round architectural interest.
