Dwarf Rhododendron Varieties
Thuja Rheingold (Thuja occidentalis Rheingold)
Thuja occidentalis Rheingold is dwarf conifer that features leaves that are golden yellow and take on copper tones during winter. The foliage is soft and feathery in appearance, and has a lovely aroma when brushed against as it grows to about 1 m tall and the same wide. Thuja Rheingold is commonly included in a mixed or border planting, used in rock gardens, maintained in a container, planted around outdoor living areas, planted to brighten a dull corner, or trimmed for a more formal look.
Agapanthus Charlotte (Charlotte Agapanthus)
Agapanthus Charlotte is a dwarf variety that features showy, two-tone blue flowers through spring and summer. These are held as loose clusters on sturdy stems that rise above the foliage. This herbaceous perennial forms a tidy clump of green, strap like foliage to about 50 cm tall and the same wide. Agapanthus Charlotte is a versatile plant that can be used as a low maintenance option on drier sites or in situations with poor soil conditions such as a clay bank. It is also ideal for including in borders or mixed plantings, mass planting as a groundcover, adding to a cottage garden, or simply grown in a container.
