Family Ericaceae

Rhododendron 'Rimini', also known as 'Rimini' rhododendron, is a compact ornamental shrub prized for its abundant flowering and its size, which is well-suited to small gardens. This variety forms a dense, rounded bush that easily integrates into flowerbeds, shrub borders, and woodland gardens. In spring, it is covered with numerous bright pink to rosy-red flowers grouped in spherical inflorescences, creating a remarkable colorful effect. The luminous blooms elegantly contrast with its dark green, thick, and slightly glossy evergreen foliage, which remains decorative throughout the year. Thanks to its compact habit, this rhododendron is suitable for both small landscape designs and foundation plantings. It prefers acidic, organic-rich, and well-drained soils, typical of woodland gardens. Its blooms attract pollinating insects and add a vibrant touch to the spring landscape.
