The Honey Butter Rhododendron is a beautiful evergreen shrub with large, dark-green leathery leaves that blooms in late spring. It grows into a dome 3 feet tall and wide, eventually doubling that size as it matures. Every branch ends in a very large cluster of bell-shaped ruffled blossoms which are pale pink, with darker edges, dark-pink veins and a butter-yellow center. A bush in bloom will be a wonderful highlight of your spring garden, and the attractive foliage makes it valuable all year round.
- Huge trusses of large flowers in late spring
- Glowing pink with darker edges and a yellow heart
- Attractive dome-shaped bush with large leaves
- Grows well in partial shade
- Grow in a pot if you don’t have suitable soil
Partial shade, or light full shade, is best for the Honey Butter Rhododendron, which is fully hardy in zone 7, and hardy with winter-protection in warmer parts of zone 6. It needs rich, moist, well-drained acidic soil, with a pH of 6.0 or less. If you don’t have suitable soil, grow it in a planter or pot, using soil and fertilizer for acid-loving plants.
