DESCRIPTION
Rhododendron albiflorum var. albiflorum is a deciduous shrub native to the mountainous forests of western North America. In late spring into early summer, its pendulous, bowl-shaped flowers appear singly or in small clusters. The blooms are predominantly white to creamy white, may show pale green tint or spotting in the throat and they emit a gentle fragrance that can attract native pollinators during their brief flowering period.

This species is known for its thin, shiny green leaves that often flush reddish or orange in autumn before dropping. The combination of airy white flowers in early summer and the plant’s season-specific presence in cool mountain understories gives it quiet charm in naturalized garden settings or woodland edges.
