A favorite for the lovely flowers, form and tough constitution. We grow it both from seed and from cuttings. Flowers are usually pink fading to white, often fragrant, 3 to 4" wide, in loose trusses. "Paddle-shaped" leaves are mostly matte green, but some have a blue-green cast. Quite heat tolerant. Limited availability.
One of our all-time favorite species both for the loveliness of flower and form and its tough constitution. We grow R.fortunei from seed and selections of it from cuttings. Typical flowers are 3 to 4" wide, usually pink fading to white, in loose trusses. Leaves are more "paddle-shaped" and generally a dark matte green, but some can have a blue-green cast.
