Rhododendron 'Praecox'
8th March 2014
An early flowering hybrid raised by I.Davies during the second half of the 19th century.
R. ciliatum x R. dauricum.
I have admired this for years in other peoples gardens, one of the first hybrids to flower in early February
and lasting into March. I have finally planted one and look forward to an improving display every year
adding colour behind the snowdrops.
