Rusty-leaved Rhododendron Overview

The rusty-leaved rhododendron, a shrub indigenous to the Pyrenees and European Alps, thrives in regions characterized by silica-rich soil. While the German Commission E and various authors have classified rhododendron species as poisonous, newer findings propose that this may not be the case for the rusty-leaved variety. Nevertheless, one should exercise caution due to the challenges associated with precisely identifying rhododendron species.
