Here is a rhododendron for the foliage collector.  The leaves are very dark green and shiny!  The undersides are coated with a thick orange felt called indumentum, which is prized by species enthusiasts. When the new foliage comes out, it is covered with a white dusting called tomentum.  The dusting persists for a few months, adding to the beauty of the leaves.  Easy to grow, this one has lovely pure-white flowers held in perfect ball-shaped trusses.  Choice!
