R. coeloneuron

In its native land, this plant comes from S.E. Sichuan and N. Guizhou, China.  A species that is still being sorted out.  Plants with thicker indumentum and from Erling Shan in central-west Sichaun are probably variations of R. wiltonii according to Cox.  A plant that will eventually become a tall shrub.  Nice rufous-tomentose leaves.

A seldom seen rare species with those beautiful full pink trusses.

This rhododendron will like partial Shade.  It would love a woodland canopy.   Provide
small amounts of fertilizer on Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day, Gentle watering, Well-aerated soil with good drainage.

This plants hardiness has not been fully tested, but appears to be hardy in Western Washington
