The hybrid Rhododendron 'Medusa' is a strange and beautiful evergreen rhododendron. The flowers come in different shades of orange are held on long pedicles that result in them hanging more or less face down. The leaves are long and narrow with a shiny dark green surface and fawn indumentum below.
These plants have a tropic look to them but are just as winter hardy as most other rhododendrons. These hybrids resulted from a cross of R. dichroanthum ssp. scyphocalyx and R. griersonianum. They gro to about one metre tall and wide. They should be planted in full to part sun. Best with afternoon shade, with even moisture, and well-drained acidic soil.
