Description
This women's tee is made from 6.1 oz 100% ring-spun US cotton in a boxy, slightly cropped mid-length cut. It features a topstitched ribbed collar, shoulder-to-shoulder twill tape, a seamless body, and a double-needle bottom hem. Dyed with OEKO-TEX certified low-impact dyes in a WRAP-certified facility, using a salt-free clean pigment process that uses about half the water of conventional pigment dyeing. Boxy fit, sizes S–2XL — it runs close to the body, so size up for a looser drape. Slight shade variation between garments is normal.

Meet rhodora
Rhododendron canadense (L.) Torr.
Rhodora carries its flowers on nearly bare branches, before the new foliage has expanded. Its deeply rooted, rhizome-forming habit allows several upright shoots to occupy the same patch. Most stems remain under a meter tall, with branches that angle strongly upward. New Jersey Natural Heritage Program: Rhododendron canadense Rare Plant Profile (2023)
Bloom window
Eastern North America
Bloom is usually in May near the southern range limit, extending into early June farther north or at higher elevations. New Jersey Natural Heritage Program: Rhododendron canadense Rare Plant Profile (2023)
Native range
Rhodora is native to eastern Canada and the northeastern United States. Its habitats include bogs, lake margins, rocky openings, thickets and coniferous or mixed woods. New Jersey Natural Heritage Program: Rhododendron canadense Rare Plant Profile (2023)
Ecological relationships
Bees pollinate the flowers. Experiments on New Brunswick’s Kent Island also showed fruit production through self-fertilization when pollinators were excluded.
