Description
Rhododendron ___ lanatoides A unique and spectacular species, still quite rare in cultivation. This lanatum/flinckii relative is native to the eastern Himalaya and like its close relatives features incredibly beautiful foliage. This species differs in that the glossy leaves are a lot longer and narrower and they feature an even thicker indumentum. The small white flowers have a red blotch and/or spots and appear in very early spring but this species is grown for its remarkable foliage. Best in a cool but bright position with well-drained organic soil. ((-5R23) RSBG $37.00
