Notes
Album catawba rhododendron (Rhododendron catawbiense Album (H-1)) is a shrub for specimen planting, hedges, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun to full shade and dry to moist soil. Deer rarely make it their first choice. It is evergreen and dense, so it gives structure all year. Bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Witch hazel, Winter aconite, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
