Rhododendron ‘Snow Crown’ is a notably floriferous variety that has been recognised with an RHS Award of Garden Merit. It forms a low, spreading shrub. Pinkish-purple buds open to white flowers, flushed pink, with wavy margins and some maroon spotting on the upper petal.
This superb Yakushimanum hybrid is perfect for small gardens with lime-free soil and for container planting in small growing spaces such as courtyards and terraces.
Yakushimanum Rhododendrons are fully hardy, tolerate full sun, have a usefully rounded, compact habit and are slow-growing, remaining small for years. Despite their small proportions, they are reliably floriferous, sporting large, showy flowers. They are also renowned for their good health - an advantage that is partly due to the silvery hairs that cover the foliage, providing a barrier against pests and diseases. All of this has made Yakushimanum rhododendrons extremely desirable.
This gorgeous Rhododendron injects glamour into shady corners of the garden or areas around the house. It is compact enough for a large container or planted into a small garden border in lime-free soil. Its dense evergreen foliage provides a presence throughout the year whilst its luminous, showy blooms deliver spring impact, illuminating areas in sun or shade. Long-lived, it provides colour from May to June for decades with little to no maintenance required. RHS Award of Garden Merit. Height: 60cm (2ft). Spread: 120 (4ft).
Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
