Rhododendron veitchianum is a species of flowering plant in the heath family Ericaceae, native to Myanmar, Thailand, and Laos, where it grows at altitudes of 900–2,400 m (3,000–7,900 ft)
Growing to 2–3 m (6.6–9.8 ft) in height, it is an evergreen shrub, with obovate or narrowly elliptic leaves, 6.5–10 cm (2.6–3.9 in) by 2–4 cm (0.79–1.57 in) in size. The large trumpet-shaped flowers are 5–6.5 cm (2.0–2.6 in) in diameter, white, often with a yellow blotch at the base.[1]
In temperate zones Rhododendron veitchianum must be grown in a large greenhouse or conservatory, in extremely well-drained acidic (ericaceous) soil.[1]
