  • USDA Cold Hardiness Zone: 7-ish
  • Native Range: HImalayan mountains.
  • Soil: Well drained, low pH. 
  • Light: Sun to bright shade. The plants are in 50% shade; it's too hot for them here to be in full sun.
  • Height in the Garden: Up to 45' in the wild. In the garden? I don't know; probably won't reach its full potential. Can easily be maintained to your preferred height with judicious pruning.
  • Attributes: Has silver abaxial leaf surfaces, new growth comes out maroon or pink. Formerly Rhododendron argenteum.
  • Notes: R. grande is a beautiful species. It has sturdy foliage with silvery under-sides; my favorite characteristic of this species. The flowers are light colored sometimes tinged pink. 
  • Uses: Flowering specimen shrub to small tree.
