Rhododendron ‘Album Elegans’
Album Elegans Rhododendron is a classic, large-leaved evergreen shrub valued for its stately form, attractive foliage, and elegant clusters of light-colored flowers. It forms a dense, rounded mound of broad, leathery, medium green leaves. In mid to late spring, it produces large, dome-shaped trusses of bell-shaped, pale lavender-pink to near-white blooms, each with a distinctive golden-yellow flare. This robust, cold-hardy hybrid is perfect for creating a substantial backdrop, a privacy screen, or as a majestic specimen in partially shaded woodland gardens.
