The names of the varieties of this collection (
i.e. 'Fryderyk', 'George Sand' and 'Chopin Polonaise') were given to commemorate the great composer Fryderyk Chopin. They were created as a result of breeding works initiated by Dr Piotr Muras in the 90s of the XX century involving Rhododendron aureum.
The shrubs gathered in this collection are low or medium sized, with a compact, oval shape, dense, dark green foliage and a large number of shoots. They bloom in yellow-cream, lemon and creamy white with a mottled spot. They are distinguished by early blooming, frost resistance (about -24°C), resistance to drought and full sunshine. The varieties are legally protected COBORU in Poland. They are registered in The international Rhododendron Register & Checklist (2004).
