Rhododendron ‘Unique’ — (campylocarpum
hybrid) 4', -5°F, EM, 3/4-5. ‘Unique’ is unique! We really like its
attractive, smooth, oblong leaves. They are so dense on the rounded plant that
it becomes a thick mound of clover green. In the spring, the buds burst forth a
bright pink which open to beautiful buttery cream flowers. Older plants become
so covered with flowers that every leaf is hidden.

was the seed parent of ‘Vulcan’ and R. griersonianum was the seed parent
of ‘Vulcan’s Flame’. To be truthful, this is nearly identical to the best form
of ‘Vulcan’. It has bright red flowers that glow like a warm fire. Foliage is
deep yew green with red stems. 10-15''

Rhododendron ‘Vulcan Tetraploid’ — (‘Mars’ x griersonianum) 5',
-15°F, ML, 4/4. We are making a trial run of this plant which was found in a
field of ‘Vulcan’s’. After a few years the grower realized that this plant, as
well as all of the cuttings from it, grew differently than the others. Similar
to ‘Vulcan.’ There are exceptions: The leaves on this plant are larger, flatter,
and thicker, which in turn make it less susceptible to tip burn (i.e. more sun
tolerant) It is also a more vigorous grower than the original, but as far as we
know the flowers are still the same size and gorgeous red color!
