Rhododendron Mme
Rhododendron Madame Masson
Introduced in 1849 but still well worth planting for its hardiness, handsome form, and distinctive flowers, this hybrid of Rhododendron catawbiense and R. ponticum bears showy conical clusters of unusual flat star-shaped white flowers in mid-spring. They have a large gold blotch on their upper lobe. This dense, rounded, head-high shrub has large glossy dark-green leaves.
