DESCRIPTION
Rhododendron mucronulatum ‘Cornell Pink’ is a deciduous shrub that blooms on bare stems in late winter to early spring. Clear, light pink, funnel-shaped flowers open in clusters before the leaves emerge, creating an airy veil of color during the quiet end of winter. After flowering, fresh green foliage fills in for the growing season and often develops warm fall tones before dropping.
This selection originated at Cornell University and is widely grown for dependable cold-weather performance and very early bloom. ‘Cornell Pink’ fits naturally along woodland edges and mixed shrub borders where its leafless-branch flowering can be appreciated up close, especially near paths and entry areas when little else is in flower.
