"Fulvum" is Latin for "tawny' and the underside of the its leaves are covered with an orange indumentum that makes this plant great. It's soft pink flowers in early spring are an added bonus. This species rhododendron comes from the eastern Himalayas. Here in the Northwest, it may grow to six feet in ten years. It will be bushier in mixed shade and sun, more tree-like in the shade.
