Rhododendron kiusianum
A small, compact evergreen shrub from Kyushu, Japan, and a parent of many popular dwarf hybrid azaleas, including Kurume types often grown as bonsai. The key to growing it is cool, humus-rich, acidic soil with bright but filtered light.
Rhododendron kiusianum, the Kyushu azalea or Miyama-Kirishima, is a species of flowering plant in the family Ericaceae, native to Kyushu, Japan. It is a parent of a large number of hybrid dwarf azaleas, drawn from the naturally occurring Kurume azaleas used in bonsai. It is the official flower of Unzen, Nagasaki, and of Kagoshima Prefecture.
