Extremely hard to find variety, not to mention the size of this beast! Rhododendron 'Lady Eleanor Cathcart' is similar (when smaller) to Rh. 'Anah Kruschke', but gets much larger over time and can hold 30% more flowers in each truss at branch tips.

This Rhodie was dug last winter from a private garden where a proposed addition forced its removal. It flowered beautifully this year and is already putting on new growth. Looks great from both sides.
