ALL RHODODENDRONS

A relatively newly introduced species that forms a very large specimen shrub with very large leaves and white flushed rose to solid pink flowers, often with a dark red basal blotch. Closely related to the familiar calophytum but with even larger and more impressive foliage. Curator, Steve Hootman remembers climbing a 30 ft. tree of this species in a remote ravine in western China and looking out over stands of the species huanum, ochraceum, lutescens, ririei, etc. – a remarkable setting for a remarkable species. Easy and very attractive in light shade.
