A true garden sensation! Pastel pink buds burst forth into sweetly fragrant, showy white blooms with pale lemon throats in late spring. But the real sensation is the tenacious root system that will withstand a variety of soils unheard of for many rhododendrons. A wonderful choice for a garden accent or for a formal hedge.
