Rhododendron 'Chionoides'

 

This striking rhododendron variety produces abundant clusters of pristine white, bell-shaped blooms adorned with golden markings at their centers, typically flowering from early to mid-May. The plant develops a naturally broad, compact silhouette with dense, uniform branching that creates an attractive landscape presence. Its notable sun tolerance distinguishes it from many rhododendron cultivars, making it adaptable to varied light conditions. Ideal for establishing informal hedgerows in woodland settings, it pairs exceptionally well with azaleas and other shade-loving companions, delivering reliable performance and visual interest season after season.

 

Be sure to use a well drained soil medium when planting Rhododendron as they prefer less watering than you might think. In clay soil we prefer planting with pine bark soil conditioner for Camellia, Rhododendron, Mountain Laurel,  Azalea.
