Francesca
$36
Vivid deep red blossoms make up robust trusses of up to 24 flowers on this hybrid rhododendron. Francesca is hardy to -10°F when protected against windchill and can grow up to 6' tall, so you'll want to give it plenty of room. With full sun to partial shade, this plant will often bloom around April or May. This is one of our very favorite red rhododendrons.
