Rhododendron

Waterer Hybrid Rhododendron

Over a century old and still well worth planting, this floriferous Waterer Hybrid bears showy conical clusters of mauve-pink, white-centered flowers in mid-spring. The wide-flaring, frilly-edged, funnel-shaped blooms fade to white. This broad, open, rounded shrub has medium-sized dark green leaves.
