R. edgarianum scarlet does well in full sunA wonderful rhododendron species varietal, people always delight in the incredibly bluish purple blossoms against the sage tone foliage. We actually love this foliage with its tiny elliptic leaves covered in dense shiny textured scales, and a countering reddish brown scales on the underside. This species, which originally grew at 12k 15k feet elevation, makes for a great addition to small growing areas and is hardy to 5F when protected from windchill.
