Description
Rhododendron catawbiense ‘Chionoides’ is a broadleaf evergreen flowering shrub known for its pure white spring blooms, dense foliage, and dependable cold hardiness. This classic rhododendron variety forms a full, rounded plant that works beautifully in foundation plantings, woodland gardens, and shaded borders.
In mid to late spring, the shrub produces large trusses of bright white flowers often accented with light green spotting, creating a clean, elegant look against the deep green evergreen foliage. The leathery leaves remain attractive throughout the year, providing structure and visual interest even when not in bloom.
