Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Typically fragrant flowers are white flushed with pink with a yellow blotch in the throat. Leaves are heavily puckered and have a heavy tawny indumentum, not only under the leaves, but also along the petiole and even down the younger stems. A unique rhododendron for warmer climates.

Over-the-top ornamental evergreen shrubs with smooth and peeling bark. The distinctive foliage is extremely attractive with a heavily puckered (bullate) texture above and a thick tawny indumentum below. The large and fragrant white to white flushed pink flowers appear in mid-spring. Requires sharp drainage. Great in a container or on an old stump or log. From seed collected in the wild in a newly explored region.
