Description
Rhododendron sphaeroblastum This is an outstanding species for foliage. Very slow-growing and best treated as a "giant alpine" by providing it with excellent drainage and not too much heat. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful foliage which is somewhat rounded in general outline and quite glossy above and only now developing a characteristic felted indumentum beneath. White to pink flowers in mid-spring, usually with reddish spots. From wild-collected seed. (-10\R2\3) RSBG
