Description
Rhododendron kuomeianum SEH#171 A relatively newly introduced (1995) and just recently named (2021) species. This is a very dwarf and slow-growing plant with obovate smallish, shiny leaves and long funnel-tubular flowers in early spring. These are white with a pink flush and a slight fragrance. Completely new to science and distinct for its compact size and hardiness as a member of subsection Maddenia. My first “discovery ” of a new species. A great little plant, very distinct and known from only this single collection from its only known native location (northeastern Yunnan). (0?R11) RSBG#1997/130 Large plants for
