Chionoides Rhododendron

Chionoides is an evergreen shrub that boasts stunning white flowers, each complete with a bright yellow dorsal and a speckling of golden yellow on the petals; it is more commonly known as Lemon Ice. This stunning example of the many rhododendron varieties holds three very important aspects that any gardener can appreciate. It is compact, wide growing and vigorous. Lemon Ice has also been chosen as a “proven performer” by the Massachusetts Chapter of the American Rhododendron Society. It’s notable for blooming large trusses stuffed with at least a dozen or more bell shaped flowers in the spring, and dense dark green leaves all year long. This species grows wider than it does tall and is a superior choice for mass planting in empty wide open garden spaces, as an informal hedge or as a stunning foundation plant. Add a touch of innocence and gentle spring beauty to your landscape design with the Chionoides species.
