Cunningham's White Rhododendron

Cunningham's White Rhododendron is a classic, time-tested evergreen shrub that has captivated gardeners since its introduction in 1830, and for good reason. Each spring, this stately broadleaf evergreen bursts into bloom with large trusses of pure white flowers bearing a soft yellow blotch, emerging from charming pink buds for a beautiful two-toned show. With its dense, rounded habit and glossy evergreen foliage, it provides elegant structure and year-round garden presence.
