DESCRIPTION
Rhododendron yuefengense is an evergreen shrub grown for rounded, thick-textured leaves and fresh blue-green new growth. In late spring into early summer, usually May to June, it carries clusters of bell- to funnel-shaped flowers that open white to pale pink, adding a gentle bloom display above the foliage.

It is originally from southeastern Guangxi, China, and entered cultivation only recently through modern plant collecting and propagation. Its neat habit, distinctive leaf shape, and late spring flowering make it well suited to woodland borders and sheltered garden plantings.
