Nursery contributed plant descriptions

That's right, now we're growing Rhododendrons. But it's not so bad. This is our very own Northwest native Rhododendron, which is as beautiful as all those fancy-shmancy cultivars and much more special. This form has white flowers, rather than the usual pink, which we think is quite interesting. Although drought tolerant, it really doesn't like a blasting hot, dry spot, and will look better with well drained loamy soil and a little protection from the hottest sun. Hardy to -20 °F.
