Rhododendron SIR WHITE RUBY ® 'BOUTI9602'
Enormous, brightly-coloured flowers
The rhododendron SIR WHITE RUBY® is an improved version of the variety 'Point Défiance'. Its very large flowers are pure white, decorated with a wide bright red border. It is a densely branching plant with thick wood. The leaves are large, green and elongated. A late variety, it flowers around mid-May.
SIR WHITE RUBY® was created by Mr Christian de la SABLIERE, a passionate plant breeder and owner of the estate of Boutiguery in Britanny. He and his daughter Virginie welcome delighted visitors to his specialised nursery and 20-hectare English-style grounds which he has planted with an astonishing 40,000 rhododendrons and azaleas.
