This is a newly described and named species closely related to, and similar in appearance to the species R. sichotense and R. ledebourii. It differs from those two species in many minor botanical characteristics and by its larger overall size and larger and showy purple to pinkish-purple flowers. An early spring blooming large evergreen shrub for sun or light shade. This is endemic to the West Sayan region of southern Russia. Grown from seed collected in the wild and our first offering of this first introduction into cultivation. Great thanks to our good friend Konstantin Cherezov for finding, describing, introducing and sharing this beautiful new plant with us.
This alpine species forms a dense mound of small and shiny, fragrant foliage. Purple to reddish-purple flowers in late spring or early summer. Very rarely offered and very slow growing. Best with excellent drainage and summer irrigation. Nice large specimens this year.
This distinct subspecies features remarkably dark crimson bell-shaped flowers in early summer. The striking flowers appear almost black, especially in bud. A compact growing, dwarf evergreen shrub with shiny foliage and somewhat bristly growth. Uniquely colored flowers, this is rarely offered. Requires excellent drainage and some shade during the hottest part of the day. This collection represents the first re-introduction into cultivation in the modern era.
A choice and very rare dwarf species related to cephalanthum and anthopogon. This forms a very compact low mound of tiny fragrant leaves, typically growing wider than high. Daphne-like yellow flowers in clusters in mid-spring. Best in a bright but not too hot position in an organic based but very well-drained soil. Very slow-growing and rarely offered.
An unusual deciduous species with small hairy and shiny leaves. Native to the montane forests of Japan. The small white flowers with red spots hang beneath the leaves in early summer. Great fall foliage color. Most people would struggle to recognize this as a rhododendron – it is that different in appearance. Incredibly tolerant of cold temperatures, growing well even in New England. Nice large plants this year.
