This is a very new dwarf Alpine introduction, whose forbears originate in areas of Yunnan overlooking the Yangtze River.

The delicate lavender to pale-purple, funnel shaped flowers cover the plant in the spring.  Because of its unusually small leaves, this low-growing and mounding evergreen plant will enjoy a sunny spot and we think it would be lovely in a rock garden!  It appears to be quite easy to grow.

This rhododendron will like a sunny spot, 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.
