Rhododendron Hybrid Cunninghams White 2 Litre Pot

The Rhododendron Hybrid 'Cunningham's White' is a popular, hardy evergreen shrub that is widely grown in the UK for its reliable flowering and attractive foliage. This versatile rhododendron features pure white flowers that bloom profusely in late spring (May to June), often with subtle yellow or green speckles at the throat. It provides a striking contrast against its lush, dark green, leathery leaves, which remain year-round, adding texture and structure to garden landscapes.

Key Characteristics:

• Size: This rhododendron typically grows to about 1.5 to 2.5 metres (5-8 feet) in height and spread, making it suitable for both smaller and larger gardens.
• Foliage: Evergreen, with dark green, glossy leaves that provide year-round interest.
• Flowers: Clusters of white, trumpet-shaped flowers with slight green or yellow markings, blooming in mid to late spring. The blooms are abundant and highly ornamental.
• Growth Habit: Dense, bushy, and rounded growth habit, with a neat and compact form

Growing Conditions:

• Soil: Rhododendrons prefer acidic, well-drained soil. 'Cunningham's White' is more tolerant of neutral soils than many other rhododendrons, but still performs best in acidic conditions. It can also be grown in containers using ericaceous compost.
• Light: Grows well in partial shade to full sun, though it benefits from some protection from harsh midday sun to prevent leaf scorch.
• Watering: Requires regular watering, particularly during dry spells. Ensure the soil remains moist but well-drained to avoid waterlogging.

Ideal Uses:

• Borders & Shrub Beds: Perfect for adding height and structure to mixed borders or as part of a woodland garden.
• Hedging & Screening: Its dense, bushy growth makes it an excellent choice for informal hedging or screening.
• Containers: 'Cunningham's White' can be grown successfully in large containers, ideal for patios or terraces, especially where acidic soil is needed.
• Foundation Planting: Often used near buildings or as part of foundation planting schemes to soften walls and add greenery year-round.
