Rhododendron ‘Kaka’ is a robust and dependable rhododendron valued for its full trusses of rich red flowers, which appear in late October, extending the spring flowering season. Reaching an estimated 2 metres in height, this variety develops an open growth habit, allowing it to blend well into mixed plantings or larger garden landscapes.
One of the standout features of Rhododendron ‘Kaka’ is its excellent tolerance to sun and wind, making it particularly well suited to exposed sites where many rhododendrons may struggle. Its proven hardiness makes it a strong performer in a wide range of garden conditions, providing both structure and vibrant colour.
Rhododendron ‘Kaka’ is an excellent option for gardeners looking for a tough, red-flowering rhododendron that delivers impact without demanding sheltered conditions.

Behind the scenes, potting up never really seems to stop here at the nursery. Right now, all the cuttings are graduating from their jiffy pots into their 2-litre pots. It really does feel a bit like a ceremony — the babies are off to school.

We are currently using PostHaste as our preferred domestic courier. Freight per box works out most economically when purchasing either two or four plants, as this fills the boxes we create efficiently. The freight cost for one plant is generally the same as for two, and we can fit up to four 6-litre pots into one banana box, making shipping cost-effective.

Please note, courier freight is also governed by plant height, as PostHaste cannot accept anything over 1.2 metres. Occasionally this may mean selecting a slightly shorter plant for shipping, but rest assured — we always aim to send you the largest, healthiest plants possible. If there’s a significant size difference, we’ll always give you a call to discuss your options.
