Looking for a beautiful addition to your garden? Consider the Rhododendron mucronulatum, also known as the Korean rhododendron. This deciduous shrub grows up to 2 meters tall and has elliptic-shaped leaves that turn red and yellow in the fall. Its reddish-purple flowers bloom in late winter or early spring, often on bare branches before leaves emerge. This shrub is native to Korea, Mongolia, Russia, and northern China, and prefers well-drained, moist, and acidic soils in semi-shaded areas. The 'Cornell Pink' cultivar is a popular choice, with light pink flowers and an RHS Award of Garden Merit. In Korea, the flowers are used in traditional spring festival cakes and infused liquors. Add a touch of unique beauty to your garden with this striking shrub!
