A dwarf and compact evergreen shrub native to the high mountains of Japan. This famous 1970 Award of Merit form is a dense and prostrate mound with pale yellow flowers in mid-spring. A choice rock garden or container specimen. Easy and hardy in the garden.
A fantastic new species in cultivation. This is a relatively smaller-growing member of subsection Maddenia with a compact and mounding habit. It has distinctive shiny and relatively small hairy leaves with large and fragrant white, openly funnel-shaped flowers in pairs. Quite beautiful as seen in its native habitat, hanging from cliffs and on rocks. These are grown from seed collected in the wild. This species is basically a slightly larger version of the just recently introduced R. levinei. Both of these represent what I think of as being among the most outstanding new introductions of the past several years.
A relatively newly introduced (1995) and just recently named (2021) species. This is a very dwarf and slow-growing plant with obovate smallish, shiny leaves and long funnel-tubular flowers in early spring. These are white with a pink flush and a slight fragrance. Completely new to science and distinct for its compact size and hardiness as a member of subsection Maddenia. A great little plant, very distinct and known from only this single collection from its only known native location (northeastern Yunnan).
Fully evergreen relative of R. dauricum with glossy green foliage turning purple in winter. Small lavender to purple or white flowers in early spring. These are grown from seed collected wild on Olkhon Island, Lake Baikal, Eastern Siberia. Quite tough and hardy.
A low and mounding evergreen shrub usually growing wider than high with smooth and peeling red-brown bark. The elliptic, two-inch long leaves are densely covered on the upper surface and margins with bristly hairs and the new growth emerges bright purple highlighted with silvery hairs. The flowers (early spring) are white with dark brown anthers and shaped like a flattened bell. Requires excellent drainage, but tolerant of sun or shade. These beautiful young plants were grown from seed collected wild in a newly explored region of the eastern Himalaya. Very attractive in all features.
A fantastic new species in cultivation. This is a relatively smaller-growing member of subsection Maddenia with a compact and mounding habit. It has distinctive small and rounded, shiny and hairy leaves with proportionally quite large flowers in pairs. The pure white flowers are openly funnel-shaped and sweetly fragrant. Quite beautiful as seen in its native habitat, hanging from cliffs and on rocks. We think this is one of the outstanding new introductions of the past several years. Grown from hand pollinated seed.
Erect or mounding evergreen shrubs with striking glossy and peeling reddish-brown bark. The large trumpet-shaped white flowers (early summer) are waxy, long-lasting and fragrant. Although still fairly new to cultivation, this attractive late-season blooming species has great potential for relative hardiness and drought tolerance. This is the hardiest of the "lily-flowered" maddenias. We have had this out in the garden for at least 20 years with no cold damage - a highly recommended species.
