Rhododendron 'Percy Wiseman' | Percy Wiseman Rhododendron

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Rhododendron ‘Percy Wiseman’ is a compact evergreen shrub with glossy dark green leaves and a rounded, well-branched habit. In mid to late spring, it produces large trusses of flowers that open in shades of peach-pink, apricot, or soft yellow, then gradually fade to creamy blush-pink with a light yellow throat. Blossoms appear in generous clusters, creating a warm, shifting display from bud through full bloom.

This cultivar is a yakushimanum-group hybrid introduced in 1958 and later celebrated with the Award of Garden Merit. Its moderate size, floriferous spring show, and evergreen foliage make it well suited for woodland borders, foundation plantings, woodland-edge beds, or smaller garden spaces where it offers early-season interest.
