Nursery contributed plant descriptions
Originally ascribed to Rhododendron pankimense but now merged to R. kendrickii which I've always thought had much narrower leaves. A champ in the mild shade garden, this makes an open shrub with rose to scarlet flowers which are well flecked. Cuttings from June Sinclair's plant.
