Rhododendron 2015
Thorkild Godsk:
Rhododendron.
Does anyone know the name of this Rhododendron, it is 3 meters high, blooms in May, it might be Rhododendron concinnum?
Thorkild.
Maggi Young:
Does not have the look of R. concinnum to me - more like a Rhododendron catawbiense with those full trusses and domed leaves.
johnw:
Maggi's quite right. Concinnum is a lepidote and your pic shows an elepidote. Likely catawbiense or even one of the pink Ironclads from Waterers. Johnw - +7c and drizzle
Hoy:
Rh. sutchuenense soon in full bloom!
Maggi Young:

Also a FREE DAY : "We are joining with the Royal Horticultural Society to celebrate National Open Gardens Day on Friday 17th April with free entrance to our gardens (usually £5).
Open 10-4pm, Glendoick boasts a unique collection of plants including rhododendrons, azaleas, Primula, Meconopsis, Kalmia and Sorbus, collected by three generations of Coxes from their plant-hunting expeditions in China, Tasmania, Tibet and the Himalaya.
Included in the Independent on Sunday’s exclusive survey of Europe’s Top 50 Gardens, you will be able to see many of the Rhododendron and Azalea species and hybrids that have been introduced from the wild or bred by the Cox family.
Tickets to be collected at the garden centre before going up the drive. Parking by the house."
