Rhododendron aganniphum EV#548

Compact to eventually quite large evergreen shrubs, remaining much smaller in cultivation. A variable, widespread and common species in the wild. The attractive foliage is covered with a pale spongy indumentum beneath. The flowers (mid-spring) are borne in a dense rounded inflorescence and vary in color from white to rose or deep pink, typically with numerous reddish spots. Rare in cultivation but a choice collector’s species. Best in light shade with excellent drainage. From wild collected seed.
