Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Large, five-inch, white flowers with dark spotting on the dorsal petal are held in upright trusses composed of up to 19 flowers. They sit atop a bed of large, dark green semi-glossy leaves. Though rated at six-feet it will grow much larger and is best when placed as a background plant.

A large growing, vigorous, upright and spreading plant with large (5"), pure white flowers bearing reddish-purple marks on the upper petal. The huge trusses are gorgeous among the foliage. Leaves are smooth surfaced and slightly shiny, deep green on the upper surface and bronze colored beneath. This is a super rhododendron! (griffithianum hybrid)
