Rhododendron (elepidote - Large Leaved)
"Big Leaf" rhododendrons. These are what most people first think of when they hear the word rhododendron. “Elepidote” literally means “without scales,” referring to a characteristic of the familiar large leaf rhododendrons. Foliage of this class of rhododendrons, although generally larger in size, can vary from about an inch long as in the species R. proteoides to as much as three feet long in the species R. sinogrande. Some have incredible fuzzy indumentum on the new growth and under the leaves, as on R. yakushimanum. The flowers can be almost any color. This group includes a very large number of hybrids. Our listing includes both species and hybrids.

RHODODENDRON 'Nova Zembla'
(C8) It features very showy red flowers spotted darker, in well-filled, rounded trusses. Leaves have a distinctive twist. more info

RHODODENDRON 'Orange peach hose-in-hose'
Somehow this lovely plant has not yet received a real name- any ideas? Soft peach and double or "hose-in-hose" flowers decorate a somewhat sprawling plant, with matte olive-green leaves. more info

RHODODENDRON 'Palomino'
(C) This medium sized rhododendron with good foliage and habit bears large formal trusses of tinted ivory white with a prominent blotch of tannish blonde. more info

RHODODENDRON 'Pana'

RHODODENDRON 'Parker's Pink'
(C8) Large and fragrant flowers of bright deep pink are heavily spotted dark red, fading to white in throat. Spectacular 12-flowered trusses, on a tall and well-branched plant. more info

RHODODENDRON 'Patricia Bosley'
The plant is a strong grower and very floriferous, with multi-hued pink flowers held in large dome-shaped trusses blooming the third week of May. Dark green foliage is exceptionally clean after a hard winter. more info

RHODODENDRON 'Pearce's American Beauty'
The compact, full truss sits closely on an "Elizabethan" collar of leaves. The foliage is dark green and especially wide. The effect is formal, but the neon deep rose color is definitely NOT! more info

RHODODENDRON 'Peppermint Twist'
(C8) Red buds, opening to rose pink flowers, with red flecks in the throat and a white circle in the throat which slowly grows larger each day. The foliage is a glossy deep green. more info

RHODODENDRON 'Percy Wiseman'
Back by popular demand, due to its unusual peachy flowers and compact plant habit. Buds emerge pink, open to light pink with an orangey-yellow flare, then age to white. Nice dark green foliage covers a plant that grows wider than tall. more info

RHODODENDRON 'Phyllis Korn'
Surprisingly hardy, this tall growing, upright plant has exceptionally large, heavy textured flowers that are a soft, light yellow with a red accent in the throat. The leaves are also large, glossy, veined and distinctive. more info

RHODODENDRON 'Pink Parasol'
(C8) Its mid-May flowers in tight rounded trusses, emerge pinker than 'Mist Maiden,' and age to apple blossom pink and white. It has soft, bluish green foliage with heavy tan indumentum. more info

RHODODENDRON 'Pride's Early Red'
(C8) Its compactness and redder flowers on a tough Zone 5 plant are its differentiating qualities. Dark forest green leaves set off the red flowers. more info

RHODODENDRON 'Princess Elizabeth'
Flowers are deep crimson, paler at the base, but a true red with no blue in the color. The blooms are held in tall, conical trusses. The foliage is a handsome dark matte green. The plant is an upright grower, maturing taller than wide. more info

RHODODENDRON 'Pseudo Pseudo'
This plant has leaves shaped like pseudocrysanthum with light indumentum. The flowers, as they open have a bright red picotee edge surrounding a light pink flower that fades to white as it matures. more info

RHODODENDRON 'Purple Passion'
(C8) This outstanding variety has trusses with a white flare on the upper lobe. Leaves are deep green. The habit is vase-shaped. more info
