RHODODENDRON tomentosum (formerly ledum) 'Milky Way'
 
Size 8-10" - $22.00 
 
Hybridized/Introduced By: Steve Hootman, Rhododendron Species Foundation
 
Description: Introduced by Steve Hootman of the Rhododendron Species Foundation. Recently, the genus Ledum was “lumped” into the genus Rhododendron, adding six species to this already massive and varied group. 'Milky Way' covers itself with rounded trusses of pure white flowers in mid-spring. While each individual saucer-shaped flower is small, they are grouped in six or seven individual trusses containing up to 20 flowers each. The attractive evergreen foliage is deep green with woolly indumentum on the lower surface and young stems. 'Milky Way' is a tough and adaptable plant, but performs best in a moist, well-aerated organic soil in sun or light shade.
