DESCRIPTION
Rhododendron 'Nelda Peach' produces rounded trusses of softly blended peach and pink flowers in mid spring, each bloom showing deeper color along the petal edges while some open in gentle pink tones. The throats carry warm orange hues that draw the eye inward and add depth to the clusters. The blossoms are held above leathery evergreen leaves that display deep green surfaces, forming a dense canopy throughout the year.

This cultivar traces its heritage to hybrid rhododendrons developed for ornamental gardens. In landscapes it provides evergreen structure for borders and woodland plantings where the nuanced flower colors bring warmth and seasonal interest among other shade-loving shrubs.
