DESCRIPTION
Rhododendron ‘Cunningham’s White’ is a broadleaf evergreen shrub with a dense, rounded habit and dark green foliage. Mauve to light pink buds open into trusses of funnel-shaped white flowers with a yellow-green eye in the throat. Flower clusters appear in late mid-spring, giving a soft flush of white blossom against the foliage.

This hybrid was raised in the early 1800s at Comely Bank Nurseries in Edinburgh, Scotland, by Cunningham. It has been widely planted for generations and is often used in hedges, woodland borders, and foundation sites, where dependable bloom and evergreen foliage provide lasting structure in the garden.
