Notes
'White Lights' rhododendron (Rhododendron 'White Lights') is a shrub for borders, specimen planting, shade gardens, and woodland settings. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun to full shade and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. Fragrant white flowers with a slight yellow blotch open in spring. Bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds visit the blooms. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with Cinnamon fern, Sum and Substance hosta, and Green Spice coral bells.
