Rhododendron Inkarho ‘Lilac Dufthecke’ is a stunning, fragrant, evergreen shrub known for its clusters of lilac-purple flowers with a delicate scent. Blooming in late spring, its large, trumpet-shaped blossoms contrast beautifully against the dark green, glossy foliage. As part of the Inkarho range, this variety is specially bred for improved adaptability, allowing it to thrive in neutral to slightly alkaline soils—unlike traditional rhododendrons. With its excellent cold hardiness, compact growth habit, and disease resistance, Rhododendron ‘Lila Dufthecke’ is an ideal choice for hedging, borders, or as a feature plant in any garden.
