Bonsaj Rhododendron indicum ‘Kotaro’

Rhododendron indicum ‘Kotaro’, grown in the form of a bonsai, is a refined variety of Japanese azalea, valued for its spectacular flowers and for its compact, branched, and balanced shape, typical of bonsai plants. The foliage is dense and evergreen, dark green, and flowering usually occurs in spring, when the crown is covered with elegant flowers, harmoniously contrasting with the well-formed, woody stem.
