Rhododendron callimorphum ssp. myiagrum | Large-leaved Rhododendron

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Rhododendron callimorphum ssp. myiagrum is an evergreen rhododendron with a compact shrub form and rounded to broadly oval leaves. In mid to late spring, it bears bell-shaped flowers that are usually white to blush or rose-pink, typically marked with a subtle basal blotch and sometimes faint flecking. The bloom clusters sit close to the foliage, giving a refined, tucked-in floral display that suits woodland borders and rock-garden settings.

This plant comes from western and west-central Yunnan where it grows on rocky slopes and cliffs at high elevations. It entered cultivation through early 20th-century plant collecting and is still regarded as a choice species for collectors who enjoy subtle flower coloring, neat foliage, and a late-spring flowering season.
