Description
Rhododendron farinosum JN#11036 Our first offering of this only recently introduced new species. This compact and dwarf species is a member of subsection Taliensia and is known from only one mountain in NE Yunnan. It has deeply bullate, rather glossy foliage that is very similar to that of its close relative wiltonii but with a much more compact growth habit. I have not seen the flowers but probably white or pinkish with some spots like most Taliensia. Best out of the hot sun and with great drainage. A real stunner and what Jens Nielsen (the collector) considered probably his greatest introduction (out of many dozens!). (-10?\R2\1.5) RSBG#215sd2012
