R. pseudochrysanthum

Here's a slow-growing gem from Taiwan grown in Western Washington!

Pseudochrysanthum has unique, thick leathery, pointed leaves.  The midrib on the lower surface has a fine line of indumentum (fuzzy underside).  The plant forms a very compact mound that makes it wonderful for a small space.

The flowers are white flushed with pink.

It is hardy for western Washington winters and is an all-around "good-doer".  Fertilize sparingly.

This rhododendron will like light shade, small amounts of fertilizer on Valentine's Day and Mother's Day, gentle watering, and well aerated soil with good drainage.  It's hardy for western Washington.
