It is an upright growing plant with glossy leaves. In the summer, they often look as if they were polished by some Irish leprechaun, out to spread shiny green throughout the world.

10482 Rhododendron ‘Frilled Yak’ — (degronianum ssp. yakushimanum hybrid) 3', -5°F, M, -/-. Lots of light pink flowers on a hybrid out of yakushimanum means this must be a reliable rhododendron. The foliage is longer and more pointed than most "yak" hybrids, which makes it different! The beautiful flowers are frilly. Why else would you call it ‘Frilled Yak’? 6-10'', 10-15'', 30-36''
