Description
Rhododendron eastmanii This is a “new” native American rhododendron that has only recently been described and named. This deciduous azalea is very rare in the wild and currently known from only a few locations in South Carolina where it grows on steep circumneutral bluffs. It may be a good azalea for those areas with neutral or even slightly alkaline soils and is reported to bloom well even in the shade. This species flowers after the leaves have expanded in late spring to early summer. The highly fragrant flowers are white to white flushed pink and usually have a yellow blotch. An exciting new fragrant species for a sunny location or the woodland garden. These are grown from seed collected in the wild in Newberry Co., SC by our friend Don Hyatt. (-5?\R1\5) RSBG#207sd2011
