Rhododendron can be evergreen or deciduous shrubs or trees, with simple leaves, sometimes with a dense colourful indumentum of hairs on the lower side, and funnel-shaped, bell-shaped or tubular flowers that may be solitary or in short racemes. 'Schneekrone' is a robust, compact rounded evergreen shrub to 1m tall. Wavy-margined flowers, white flushed pink, with some maroon spotting on the upper lobe, open from deep pink buds in early and mid spring. Very floriferous
