DESCRIPTION
Rhododendron catawbiense ‘Album’ is an evergreen shrub with dense, leathery, dark green foliage and an upright, rounded habit. In late spring, it produces trusses of large, bell- to funnel-shaped flowers. Buds may show a faint blush before opening to clean white blooms, each marked with a greenish to yellow-green blotch or shading in the throat, adding subtle detail.

‘Album’ is a species native to the Appalachian Mountains of the southeastern United States. In gardens it has been grown for well over a century and is often grouped among the classic “ironclad” rhododendrons valued for dependable performance. Its late-spring flowering and evergreen structure make it useful in woodland borders, screens, and foundation plantings.
