Rhododendron Patty Bee

Description

Rhododendron Patty Bee is one of the few true miniature yellow rhododendrons, prized for its small size and bright, cheerful flowers. This compact evergreen produces pale yellow, wavy-edged funnel-shaped blooms in early spring, creating uplifting colour in the garden while the neat dark green foliage provides year-round appeal.

Growing to only about 50-75 cm high with a similar spread over 10 years, Patty Bee is ideal for rockeries, the front of mixed borders, or as a delightful feature in patio containers. Its diminutive scale and tidy habit make it an excellent choice for small gardens or limited spaces where larger rhododendrons might dominate.

This hardy dwarf thrives in moist, well-drained, acidic soil and prefers a position in full sun to partial shade — though shelter from harsh afternoon sun and strong drying winds will help it perform best. Like many rhododendrons, it benefits from a mulch to keep roots cool and moist, and regular morning watering during establishment.

Rhododendron Patty Bee is a favourite for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance yet striking evergreen shrub. Buy Rhododendron Patty Bee online today and enjoy a splash of bright yellow colour in your garden or courtyard with expert planting and care advice from RhodoDirect.
