Description
Rhododendron longipes var. longipes SEH#119 A relatively new species to cultivation. This can be considered a compact form of the widespread and variable argyrophyllum with similar pure pink flowers in late spring. The leaves of this species tend to be narrower in shape than those seen in typical argyrophyllum. A rounded and slow-growing species with demure but beautifully clear pink, bell-shaped flowers in mid- to late spring. Probably tolerant of near neutral soils. Easy in light shade.
