Lemon Dream Rhododendron

New gardeners often rush to buy plans in strong colors, looking for the additional pop of color that red or pink can add to their outdoor living space. It would be a mistake to overlook the Lemon Dream Rhododendron with its more gentle and relaxing shade of yellow. Just as appealing to the eye, a lighter color not only brings brightness to the shade, but it makes the stronger colors of your other plants even more striking.

• Appealing soft-yellow blossoms bring light to the shade
• Grows well in shady areas of any garden
• Neat, compact habit with dense evergreen foliage
• Great choice for warmer zones
• Easily grown in suitable soils

The soft yellows of the dense flower trusses contrast strongly against the plant’s rounded, evergreen deep green leaves densely clustered on a small shrub that may eventually exceed two feet, but which stays short and makes an ideal plant for small spaces, planter boxes and pots too. This dwarf variety is perfect for smaller gardens with space restrictions or for larger landscapes when you need smaller plants for massing in the foreground of your larger shrubs.
