Rhododendron - caucasicum x ponticum, white flowered
Compact evergreen shrub with rounded habit and very dark-green broadleaf foliage.
The pretty flushed-pink buds open to reveal lax trusses of elegant funnel-shaped, pure-white flowers with subtle speckles of yellow-green.
Some protection from cold winds is advisable due to the weight of the soft flower trusses. This is a versatile landscape shrub due its compact structure and makes a lovely contrast in a mixed garden setting.
Requires dappled shade and well-draining, humus-rich, acidic soil.
