RHODODENDRON ‘ FRAGRANTISSIMUM’
In spring, we bring this plant inside in pots, filling the house with its fragrance of beeswax candles, wood polish and lilies. Carmine buds open to frilly white flowers with rose-pink throats. We have been propagating softwood cuttings for several years, and this year plan to grow them in a sheltered spot in the garden. AGM*.
