Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A large vigorous species with bold foliage and huge, highly fragrant white to white-flushed pink flowers in mid-spring. Smooth cinnamon bark and one of the parents of the Loderi grex of hybrids. Grown from seed collected in the wild at the far eastern end of the range of this widespread species. These are almost unrecognizable as the same species we have long known in its Sikkimese or Bhutanese forms. This only recently discovered “eastern form” (deserves sub–specific status in my opinion) has much larger foliage of blue-green that is very broadly-elliptic in shape with a cordate base and an undulate margins.
