Rhododendron 'Eino'

Rhododendron 'Eino'

’Eino’ is a rhododendron hybrid with purplish-red flowers, created at Mustila by using pollen from the red-flowered ‘Dr. H.C.Dresselhuys’ with one of the Seidel Group of rhododendrons growing at the Arboretum. The buds are strikingly dark in colour, and when they open in June the flowers have a flame-like pattern on the upper lobe. ‘Eino’ grows to about 1.2m high in 10 years, after which it mainly grows wider.
