This special hybrid rhododendron is sought after for its extraordinary tomentum that adorns the young foliage. Prized for the rich bronze color and texture, this foliage turns to a darker green, which creates an incredible canvas for the new indumentum covered leaves. Superb! The blossoms are a bright pinkish red/purple.

This special cultivar is named after Ellie Sather of Whitney Gardens in Washington. Ellie Sather can grow to about 5' tall and 5' wide. Give it full sun to partial shade. Hardy to 5°F when protected from windchill.
