Description- You'll love the landscape form of this selection. 'Minnetonka' will certainly show off at flower time with its big, beefy globes of pleasingly light purple bloom starting around mid-May. Its tremendous, deep green, shiny foliage is tightly packed on a rounded, well shaped plant that just looks neater and more formal than most other large growing types, really making it look distinct from all the other Rhododendron it might be placed near. 'Minnetonka' loves moist, well-drained soil and will shine in a partially shaded location as a large foundation plant or grouped in a woodland border.
