The larger rhododendrons make the backbone of many a fine garden. We concentrate on species, not hybrids, where possible grown from wild seed.
Rhododendron catawbiense SDR2219 comes from the Appalachian mountains in North Caroline, where it often grows on the summits of the mountains. One of the hardiest species, its pink flowers, usually a rich colour but with darker and paler, even white, variants, look excellent against the deep green foliage.
