Description
Rhododendron ungernii A hardy late-flowering species closely related to the more familiar smirnowii. This species has very large foliage for a member of Subsection Pontica and the leaves are covered with a thick and wooly tan to silvery-white indumentum beneath. The white to pale rose flowers with green spots appear in early to mid-summer, long after most of the other species have flowered. A great foliage plant with the bonus of late season flowers. Rarely offered, these are grown from seed collected in the wild. (-5\R1\4) RSBG
