R. 'Big Lagoon' Web Specials

R. 'Big Lagoon' Web SpecialsSelected as one of the best screening rhododendrons for zone 7, 'Big Lagoon' will grow big and lush, blocking an undesirable view. The cross is R. 'Ruby Bowman' x R. 'Lem's Cameo', so will grow somewhat large, 8 ft tall in 10 years and is hardy to zone 7. Blooming starts in mid April.
