The larger rhododendrons make the backbone of many a fine garden. We concentrate on species, not hybrids, where possible grown from wild seed.
Rhododendron campanulatum CC5124 is highly desirable for its foliage as well as for its flowers. The young leaves have a metallic lustre, which eventually rubs off, but the undersides of the leaves remain thickly covered with rusty indumentum. The large trusses of flowers are white or pale rosy pink, or sometimes the pinky purple that is known as lilac-coloured. Which is about as helpful as calling a lilac rhododendron-coloured.
