Description
Rhododendron ___ arboreum ssp. cinnamomeum var. cinnamomeum Large rounded to upright evergreen shrubs or trees with stiff lanceolate foliage. Differs from ssp. cinnamomeum var. roseum in its darker, rusty-brown and looser indumentum on the undersides of the leaves. The flowers (mid- to late spring) are white, pink, carmine or red. Found at higher elevations than ssp. arboreum and thus generally hardier. An impressive plant in both foliage and flower. Strong growing with a tree-like or large bushy habit. Give this species plenty of room. I have not documented the flower color on this clone. ((0R16) RSBG#1980/103 $27.00
