The R. sinograndes came from chimacum woods I think. They're at a lot of plant sales and if you wanted them to bring one to a sale near you, they'd probably be happy to do so. The nursery at the Rhododendron Species Garden on the Weyerhauser campus in Federal Way usually has quite a few of them as well.

I kept reminding myself while drooling over the Rhododendron sinograndes that I already have a beautiful one at home. On the other hand, groups of three are a good thing, right? I'm surprised that Rock and Roll hasn't appeared here as well but maybe the nursery folks here are trying to be a little more conservative hardiness-wise after last winter. More research is called for so I'll have to drag myself to a couple of Seattle nurseries one of these days!outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-85305973070799358772014-04-25T15:24:28.581-07:002014-04-25T15:24:28.581-07:00Your name for my car was too cute!
