What is Hanabin

Hanabin (scientific name: Rhododendron indicum 'Hanabin') is a Japanese horticultural evergreen/deciduous shrub of the genus Rhododendron in the family Ericaceae. It is a type of azalea bred by crossing the horticultural varieties "Tateyama no Mai" and "Hoshi no kagaki".
The height is 30 to 100 cm, and it is mainly used for bonbons. The leaves are lanceolate to broadly elliptic, 2-3 cm long, and dark green in color. In May to June, it produces a raceme from the leaf axils and produces numerous pink or bright red funnel-shaped flowers with a deeply lobed tip, which are 3 to 5 cm in diameter. The petals are narrow with white margins.
