Rhododendron Lady Alice Fitzwilliam A gorgeous, wonderfully scented rhododendron for very mild areas, Rhododendron Lady Alice Fitzwilliam is a medium-sized evergreen shrub with a rounded, bushy habit. The typical rhododendron, palmate leaves are leathery, strongly veined and deep green. In May, pink buds open to white flowers with a pink streak and a yellow patch, with a strong, delicious fragrance, redolent of nutmeg, which carries on the air. Not a plant for colder areas, Rhododendron Lady Alice Fitzwilliam holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
