DESCRIPTION
Rhododendron ‘Wow’ is an evergreen shrub with a compact, rounded habit and medium green leaves. In spring, trusses of funnel-shaped flowers open yellow to creamy gold, each bloom showing red spotting in the throat that adds depth and contrast. As the flowers mature, the yellow tones soften slightly, creating gentle shifts in color across each cluster while maintaining the warm, glowing center.

This hybrid was bred by Dan Bones in Florence, Oregon, and is valued for dense trusses and reliable spring bloom. Its evergreen framework and warm flower tones make it well suited to paths, terraces, and mixed borders where close viewing is possible.
