Harry Wu Malaysian Rhododendron
The flat trusses of six large flowers are funnel-shaped and feature delicately wavy-edged lobes, creating an elegant and distinctive appearance. The darker buds gradually open to reveal a lovely yellow-pink coloration. This plant is an upright shrub that can grow up to 4 feet tall in 10 years. It flowers multiple times throughout the year, providing extended periods of visual interest. It performs best in filtered sunlight and thrives in perfectly draining mediums such as bark or clean cinder. To ensure healthy growth, it is important to protect the plant from frost. As a cloud forest species, it requires consistent moisture with clean water, but care should be taken not to overwater and to avoid burying the base. This plant is referenced in the Bovees Nursery catalog of 1996 and is a hybrid of R. zoelleri and leucogigas.
