Rhododendron 'Liz Ann' | Liz Ann Rhododendron
DESCRIPTION
Rhododendron ‘Liz Ann’ is a dwarf evergreen shrub forming a compact, rounded mound of small, deep green leaves. In mid-spring, usually around May, it produces clusters of funnel-shaped flowers that open very pale pink before quickly fading to white or nearly white. In many plants, the pink is so subtle that it is only visible in cool temperatures or in the tight bud stage, leaving the open trusses to appear soft white across the plant.
A yakushimanum hybrid selected for its neat habit and reliable spring bloom, ‘Liz Ann’ is well suited to rock gardens, container plantings, and the front of mixed borders. Its compact structure and delicate, light-toned flowers offer a gentle presence that works beautifully in small or refined garden spaces.
