Rhododendron ×gandavense plenum ‘Narcissiflora’
'Narcissiflora' is a Ghent hybrid Azalea, originated by Louis Van Houtte of Belgium, before 1871. It displays double yellow flowers that are very showy (1 ¾” in size) and are extremely fragrant. Blooms mid to late season (late May in West Newbury, Massachusetts). It is a tall, upright shrub up to 6’-8’ high and 6’ wide that broadens with age.

Prefers full sun to partial shade. Blooms reliably every year. This plant prefers a cool climate and is very hardy, withstanding -15° F to -25° F. Can be used as a single specimen, hedge, or mass planting.

Our original stock plant was brought from the Arnold Arboretum to Cherry Hill Nurseries in 1958. Propagated by softwood cuttings, this cultivar has proven to be a favorite for many years. Cutting-grown plants are very vigorous, easily producing flowers in three seasons.
