Description
Rhododendron ‘Gwilt King Red’ is a striking small-growing rhododendron prized for its intense red flowers and tidy, compact habit. Flowering in late October to November, it produces blood-red trusses that stand out vividly against the dark green foliage, making it an excellent choice for adding colour and structure to smaller gardens and borders.
This cultivar forms a neat, rounded mound, reaching approximately 0.8 metres in height at 10 years, providing year-round visual interest and a strong architectural presence in the garden. The dense foliage complements the vibrant flowers, creating a standout display during the spring flowering period.
‘Gwilt King Red’ thrives in free-draining, acidic soil enriched with organic matter and benefits from regular mulching to maintain moisture. It is thrip resilient and sun tolerant, making it reliable for spring flowering even in exposed garden positions in New Zealand.
