The larger rhododendrons make the backbone of many a fine garden. We concentrate on species, not hybrids, where possible grown from wild seed.
Rhododendron yunnanense SDR4217 is a lovely species, flowering reliably every year, usually covering itself with flowers. It is quite variable, with flowers sometimes almost pure white, sometimes pink or pale mauve, with yellow to red spots. The new shoots each year can be 30 cm or more long, with leaves along the whole length, so eventually this can make quite a tall shrub. Most forms are evergreen, but a few lose their leaves in winter, in which case they can look even more dramatic in spring.
