'Russautinii' 	
Rhododendron russatum x Rhododendron augustinii
This small shrub grows to 2 m (6ft) tall in 10 years with spreading branches that form a compact habit with glossy dark green aromatic leaves. From mid to late spring it produces clusters of 5-6 deep lavender blue 6-lobed flowers that cover the plant. 

It is excellent for colour contrast in low borders or as a specimen in a lawn area and can be used as a container plant.
