R. fortunei

Fortunei is native to many parts of China and was grown here from seed in Western Washington.  It’s vigorous, upright, and a good do-er in our growing conditions.   The stem of the leaf (petiole) is purplish or reddish and flowers are pink.

This is a stately plant that out- performs many of the hybrids of which it is a parent.  Over time it can become a large mound or small tree.  Enjoy!

This rhododendron will like:  Partial Shade - Small amounts of fertilizer on Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day - Gentle Watering - Well aerated soil
