R. yunnanense

Native to Myanmar and many provinces in China, this lovely rhododendron has loads of white flowers with red spotting, and even a nice light pink blush around the edge. The pistils are long and showy, giving the bloom a sparkly appearance. In most years the flowers cover all of the foliage and make a dramatic display. The leaves are small and pointed on a plant that grows between 4 and 6 feet tall in 10 years. Grows at around 10,000 ft in its native lands.  Hardy to 0 deg F.
