R. 'Nosy Be'

Named after an island off Madagascar’s northwestern coast, Nosy Be. This new and fabulous rhododendron was created by Marc Colombel of France, who has been working with tetraploid rhododendron parents to produce new plants with more chromosomes. The results are good. Both the leaves and flowers are larger with more substance, making them more tough and longer lasting. This type of rhododendron will be the rhododendrons of the future. We are fortunate to know Marc and have his new hybrids in our collection so we can propagate them and share them with all of our customers.
