Description
‘Prelude’ Andromeda is a compact, mounded evergreen shrub prized for its delicate white bell-shaped flowers that bloom in early to mid-spring. Its new foliage emerges with a soft pink tint before maturing to deep green.
Smaller than typical varieties, ‘Prelude’ is ideal for rock gardens, borders, and foundation plantings in Massachusetts landscapes, thriving in moist, acidic soils and partial shade.
Each plant comes in a #3 (3 gallon) growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
