    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    An evergreen shrubby relative of rhododendrons. This is a species native to Sri Lanka where it grows alongside Rhododendron arboreum ssp. zeylanicum. Probably with similar hardiness to that rhododendron and so best in mild climates. From seed collected in the wild, pretty sure this is the first intro into cultivation.
