$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Rhododendron ‘Gedser Gold’ is a compact evergreen shrub with dense, bushy growth and dark, glossy green foliage. In mid-spring rounded trusses of funnel-shaped flowers open in warm lemon to deep yellow tones. Each bloom shows a small red blotch or a red throat, giving gentle depth to the sunny color. The flowers are held in loose clusters above the foliage, creating a cheerful display in lightly shaded borders and woodland-style plantings.

A modern Danish hybrid, it is noted for its hardiness and reliable flowering. It performs well in cool, temperate gardens where spring conditions are mild and is often chosen for mixed rhododendron groupings, and container plantings on terraces or patios, where its yellow bloom and evergreen structure can be appreciated up close.
