Description
Album Catawba Rhododendron is a classic broadleaf evergreen prized for its elegant clusters of trumpet-shaped white blooms that appear in mid-spring. Emerging from lilac-purple buds, the pure white flowers—accented with olive green speckles—create a stunning contrast against the dark green foliage, which remains attractive year-round. With its upright, rounded habit, this hardy shrub is perfect for shady borders, foundation plantings, or woodland gardens.
Thriving in partial sun and rich, acidic soil, Album Catawba Rhododendron prefers well-draining conditions and benefits from generous peat moss at planting. It's a low-maintenance evergreen that should be pruned only after flowering to preserve next season’s buds. Its slow, steady growth and year-round interest make it a valuable addition to any landscape seeking timeless structure and seasonal color.
