Rhododendron × ‘Unique’ | Unique Rhododendron

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Rhododendron × ‘Unique’ is an evergreen rhododendron that blooms in mid spring, often April into May. Rounded trusses of funnel-shaped flowers open creamy ivory-white from pink buds, with a warm yellow flush and occasional fine crimson speckling in the throat. Glossy, deep green leaves provide a clean backdrop and keep the plant attractive beyond the flowering season.

‘Unique’ originated in England in the early 1930s. It gained early recognition, including an award in 1935, and has remained a dependable garden plant in mild, maritime climates. Its soft, fragrant-looking spring display and tidy evergreen framework suit woodland borders, foundation plantings, and prominent spots near paths.
