Rhododendron 'Blue Diamond' - 2012

oh thats pretty, i have one a bit like that but its rather more sparse; it grows under a beech tree; often wondered what it was

Sticki - this used to be a lot bigger, but a couple of years ago, much of it died and I was left with just one green shoot at the base. I think the soil was too dry to support a lot of top growth but it's OK for a smaller bush

good to know it came back so well. maybe i should cut mine back a bit to make it thicker?

That's a nice rhododendron, I don't see many of the blue varieties. The only other one I remember seeing was called 'Oceanlake' and that was also an attractive color.
