One of the most beautiful plants to brighten a shady corner of the garden with variegated leaves is the rhododendron. Among the best rhododendrons that show variegation in their foliage, adding tremendously to their year round omamentality, is 'Claydian Variegated'*, a tissue culture sport of 'Madame Masson from Clay Nurseries in British Columbia. Its leaves have a distinct white border enclosing a green center and its white flowers are touched by a golden flare bloom in May. It is a well shaped plant and hardy to -15° F (-26° C), but is a slow grower.
