Nursery contributed plant descriptions

An evergreen epiphytic blueberry from the cloud forests of Asia. This species is more compact in growth than many of its epiphytic relatives. Glossy and small rounded leaves along the stems for a very dense habit and appearance. This unusual species has white tubular flowers enclosed by large, round green bracts, very distinct. As with most of the rhododendrons native to this region, this should have some hardiness. Excellent drainage required for success.
