Description
Rhododendron kiangsiense SEH#18018 A fantastic new species to cultivation. This is a relatively smaller-growing member of subsection Maddenia with a compact and mounding habit. It has distinctive shiny and relatively small hairy leaves with large and fragrant white, openly funnel-shaped flowers in pairs. Quite beautiful as seen in its native habitat, hanging from cliffs and on rocks. From seed collected in the wild. This species is basically a slightly larger version of the also just recently introduced R. levinei. Both of these represent what I think of as being among the most outstanding new introductions of the past several years. Sorry, but only a few available currently. (+5?R22) RSBG#153sd2018
