"Every Plant has a story . . . ."

R. bureavioides

This is a glossy-leaved beauty with patchy indumentum that distinguishes it from its more well-known relative bureavii.  Bureavioides is actually more common in China than bureavii and has the same white flowers, flecked with purple spots.

Here's a plant to grow for its foliage - a year around delight.  This is a tough plant which can take a fair amount of sun (but don't cook it).

It branches readily and makes a bold statement that always draws attention.  Ours grew to be eight feet tall in thirty years here on the Olympic Peninsula.

This rhododendron will like moderate sun, small amounts of fertilizer on Valentine's Day and Mother's Day, gentle watering, and well aerated soil
