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 'Caroline'
(C8) An exceptionally good grower. The large flowers are light orchid pink, moderately fragrant, in loose trusses on a plant with fairly narrow, light green leaves. more info

RHODODENDRON 'Carte Blanche'
White flowers in domed trusses of 18-20. Each flower is open funnel-shaped, with 5 wavy- edged lobes. Bud is purplish pink, opening to light purplish pink and aging to white. Retains color longer on outside and on margins. more info

RHODODENDRON 'Catalina'
(C8) Pink flowers that fade to white in the center, resulting in a picotee effect. Grows in a medium mounded plant habit; Catalina's yak heritage is apparent in its attractive, dense foliage with some indumentum. Is said to be somewhat sun tolerant. more info

RHODODENDRON 'Catalode' (County of York)
(C8) The large white flowers of 'Catalode' are accented with a yellow flare and held in a conical truss. Its distinctive apple-green leaves which can be up to a foot long, make it one of the easiest rhododendron hybrids to identify when not in bloom. more info

RHODODENDRON 'Catawbiense Album'
(C8) It is a well-shaped medium growing plant with glossy convex leaves and white flowers with a yellow green flare. One of the "ironclads" and a great one to grow in that "trying" location. more info

RHODODENDRON 'Charles Loomis'
(C8) Our own plant, sitting in 80% sun with typically 20 to 40 days above 90°F never shows any ill effects. Flowers are rounded trusses emerging first as blush pink and quickly fading to white, much like yak hybrids. The foliage is narrow and recurved. more info

RHODODENDRON 'Charlestown'
(C8) The flowers are pink, slightly ruffled, with a lighter center and bloom about a week earlier than most Dexters. The habit is upright with large leaves and the plant is a sturdy grower. more info

RHODODENDRON 'Chatham'
(C) A well shaped plant which blooms in the middle of May. Flowers are dome shaped with a multihued mix of pink, a hint of lilac, and a white center. Flowers have a wavey edge. It is also fragrant. more info

RHODODENDRON 'Cherry Cheesecake'
The flower is hard to describe; take a white base, paint the flowers edges red, then dab a large, deep maroon blotch on the upper lobe. Voila!!! That's Cherry Cheesecake! more info

RHODODENDRON 'Consolini's Windmill'
(C8) A stunning picotee-type flower, a multicolored red with a broad longitudinal white band in each lobe. A fast grower with good habit and shiny foliage, and does best in a site with dappled shade. more info

RHODODENDRON 'Cosmopolitan'
Pink flowers with a dark red flare on the upper lobe. The flowers fade to light pink with age. Plant is a compact grower. more info

RHODODENDRON 'Crete'
A well-branched plant, broad as tall, is amply furnished with glossy dark green, densely indumented leaves. more info

RHODODENDRON 'Cunningham's White'
(C8) Buds flushed pink open to white flowers with a pale yellow eye; has small, upright, many-flowered trusses. Plant is spreading and compact, with glossy dark green foliage. more info

RHODODENDRON 'Cupcake'
'Cupcake' blooms in early to mid May with abundantly produced apricot pink flowers that age to a blend of deliciously tropical hues. Densely clothed with dark green leaves and tan/bronze indumentum. A low grower. more info

RHODODENDRON 'Cynosure'
(C8) A medium sized plant, wider than tall, that buds up very well. It blooms in late May and has proven to do well in sun but also sets buds in deep shade. The full pink trusses have a distinctive rust colored flare in the throat of each flower. more info
