Description
Rhododendron diversipilosum Milky Way Simply the best form of this species that I have seen, Rhododendron Milky Way is a superior selection of a species formerly included in the genus Ledum. Recently, the genus Ledum was “lumped ” into the genus Rhododendron, adding six or so species to our favorite, already massive, genus. Milky Way covers itself with rounded trusses of pure white flowers in mid-spring. While each individual saucer-shaped flower is relatively small, each truss is composed of six or seven individual trusses containing up to 20 flowers each. A full-grown plant will ultimately reach about three feet in height with a five-foot spread, well-branched, with foliage to the ground. An RSBG selection. (15R23) RSBG#1990/090
