A semi-deciduous to evergreen, very hardy shrub that blooms in early spring, before almost any other species. The flowers range from pink to purple and even white and the fragrant foliage turns purple-bronze in the autumn/winter. Best in sun or light shade. Native over much of northern Asia. These are grown from seed collected wild in the Eastern Sayan Mountains of southern Russia.
A superb all-around plant with attractive foliage and a compact habit. The rose buds open to pale pink flowers fading to pure white. Easy to grow, with year-round ornamental appeal. Tolerant of sun or shade and relatively heat and cold tolerant. These are seedlings grown from a hand pollination of "Exbury form" x 'Koichiro Wada'.

A fantastic dwarf evergreen species that is very slow-growing and relatively drought tolerant once well established, eventually taking on the shape of a small bonsai tree. Requires excellent drainage and makes a great specimen for a container. Grows as an epiphyte in trees and on cliffs and boulders from 6,000 to 10,500 ft. in SW China. This special selection features glossy green leaves and deep rose-pink flowers.

Simply the best form of this species that we have seen, Rhododendron ‘Milky Way’ is a superior selection of a species formerly included in the genus Ledum. Recently, the genus Ledum was “lumped” into the genus Rhododendron, adding six or so species to our favorite, though already massive, genus. ‘Milky Way’ covers itself with rounded trusses of pure white flowers in mid-spring. While each individual saucer-shaped flower is relatively small, each truss is composed of six or seven individual trusses containing up to 20 flowers each. A full-grown plant will ultimately reach about three feet in height with a five-foot spread, well-branched, with foliage to the ground. An RSBG selection.
Low mounding evergreen shrubs with pale yellow flowers in mid-spring. An excellent foliage plant with attractive red-brown, smooth and peeling bark. The glossy leaves are impressed with a fine pattern of veins and are fringed on their margins with long hairs. One of the hardiest of any of the species in subsection Maddenia and the parent of many fine dwarf yellow hybrids. The flowers are a stronger yellow that seen in the faded image here.
Typical high elevation, prostrate and creeping form of this classic alpine species. Tiny rounded shiny leaves and large red bell-shaped flowers in early spring. Excellent drainage and a cool position for best results.
