DESCRIPTION
Rhododendron 'Loderi King George' produces large, fragrant white flowers in mid to late spring, each bloom opening with broad petals lightly flushed with soft pink. The blossoms are carried in full trusses and release a sweet scent as they open. Leathery evergreen leaves cover the stems, displaying deep green surfaces that form a dense, polished canopy throughout the year.

This cultivar traces its heritage to Loderi hybrids developed in England through crosses involving Rhododendron griffithianum. In gardens it provides evergreen structure for borders and woodland plantings where the fragrant spring flowers add elegance and seasonal interest.
