Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Light pink to white flowers are intensely fragrant, a rarity in the rhododendron world, and will fill the garden with a delicious aroma every spring. Attractive, medium-sized leaves are rough textured

By: Bloom River Gardens

This is a compact-growing edgeworthii hybrid with masses of intensely fragrant flowers in mid-spring. These are white strongly flushed with pink (for a more or less overall pink appearance) – very beautiful. Smaller and less hairy leaves than the parent species but still quite attractive. Easy in well-drained soil and fine in a container. Our first offering.
