Rhododendron lanatum (syn. Rhododendron flinckii), the woolly rhododendron, is a species of flowering plant in the family Ericaceae, native to the eastern Himalayas and southeastern Tibet.[1] Occasionally found in commerce, it is a rabbit-tolerant evergreen shrub reaching 3–10 ft (1–3 m).[2] Hardy in USDA zones 7 through 9, it is recommended as a hedge in partly shady situations.[3]

Its young shoots and leaves are covered with a white to tawny velvety wool, giving it its scientific and common names.[3] May flowers are typically sulphur-yellow with maroon-spotted throats, and there is a cream-flowered morph.[3][4]
