Unique Rhododendron

48″ -5°F EM 3/4-5/4
Salmon colored buds open to ivory flowers flush with pink, before fading to pure white on this dense, handsome plant. The deep green rounded foliage is attractive all year. Tolerates full sun, but looks best with dappled shade.

Rhododendron Notes

After the name of each rhody or azalea, we have listed a series of numbers. First is the size of the plant in 10 years. Then, hardiness ratings in degrees Fahrenheit. Bloom times in our area:

• VE- Jan-April 1
• E- April 1-May1
• EM- May1-May15
• M- May 15-June1
• ML-June 1-June 15
• L- June15- July 1
• VL- July 1- Aug

Our descriptions also include American Rhododendron Society ratings when possible. The three numbers (i.e. 3/4/4 ) rate the flower, plant, and performance in the garden. A ‘5’ is an excellent, but uncommon, rating. ‘3’ ratings are common, but a lower rating does not mean the plant is not worth growing. ‘-/-/-‘ indicates a rhododendron that has not yet been rated by the ARS.
