Description
Rhododendron yuefengense A new and very exciting species in cultivation. This is, in general appearance, a dwarf and compact version of the well-known species orbiculare and has similar rounded leaves. The leaves are much thicker and more firm in texture than that familiar species and the petiole is quite short and wide. Bright glaucous blue-green new growth – a really amazing foliage plant. Funnel-bell-shaped pink flowers in early summer – quite a late-blooming species and flowering from a very young age. Seems to be hardy (surviving in sheltered areas on the east coast!) and best in very light shade or morning sun. You will love this plant. (0?\R1\3) RSBG
