Description
Rhododendron valentinioides YUGU#061 Deep yellow waxy flowers with deeply bullate, glossy green leaves, each leaf with a fringe of long hairs on their margins. Much larger growing and more vigorous than its close relative – valentinianum. Smooth and peeling reddish-brown bark, this has proven to be quite hardy for a Maddenia in our climate. A stunning foliage plant with the darkest yellow flowers I have seen in a rhododendron. Grown from seed collected in the wild from the exact location Peter Cox and I first introduced it into cultivation in 1995. (+5R25) RSBG#138sd2019 $16.00-B
