ALL RHODODENDRONS

Dwarf evergreen alpine shrubs typically with a dense mounding habit and attractive glossy and fragrant foliage. The “thimble-shaped” flowers (late spring to early summer) are pink to salmon-pink, red, claret, purple, plum to almost black-purple, or cream. A fantastic specimen plant for a rock or woodland garden, also nice in a container or as a mass groundcover planting. This clone forms a dense and compact mound with very small leaves and masses of small, glaucous, rose flowers. A beautiful selection, one of the finest in our collection. Best in light shade or morning sun in a moist but well-drained soil.

A newly introduced species and one of the most important introductions in the last twenty years. This species forms a rounded shrub with large and deep green, very rounded leaves – a stunning plant in foliage. In mid-spring the large flower buds expand to upright inflorescences of 18 (or so) funnel-shaped and pink, lightly fragrant flowers (similar to those of its close relative – R. fortunei) - quite remarkable. Grown from hand-pollinated seed produced here at the RSBG from the original introduction of this species from its type location in southern China. This taxon was long thought to be a subspecies of its relative R. orbiculare which also has rounded leaves, but which is found far to the northwest in Sichuan, and which has completely different flowers. I am hereby (unofficially) re-instating it as a distinct, separate species. Beautiful bluish cast to the new growth and a vigorous habit. Best in light shade and has been perfectly hardy outside here so far. You will love this.

Newly introduced into cultivation from Sulawesi. A great new addition to the selection of vireyas for the collector. Dwarf and very floriferous with tubular rose-pink flowers, this is an easily grown species.

This species forms a compact rounded shrub with distinctive, elliptic and glossy, deep green leaves. The stunning and waxy, bell-shaped flowers (late spring to early summer) of this species range from picotee type – white tubes with a reddish edge and dark purple nectaries to the more common solid, deep red with darker nectaries. A beautiful flowering plant that always attracts attention. We have not documented the flower color for this clone.
