A captivating variety with clusters of blooms that are pale yellow with a pink flush, aging to cream; outstanding as a garden accent; absolutely must have well-drained, highly acidic and organic soil, use plenty of peat moss when planting
Mrs. Betty Robertson Rhododendron is an open multi-stemmed evergreen shrub with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its relatively coarse texture can be used to stand it apart from other landscape plants with finer foliage.
This is a relatively low maintenance shrub, and should only be pruned after flowering to avoid removing any of the current season's flowers. It has no significant negative characteristics.
Mrs. Betty Robertson Rhododendron is covered in stunning clusters of lightly-scented creamy white trumpet-shaped flowers with shell pink overtones, buttery yellow throats and red spots at the ends of the branches in mid spring. It has dark green evergreen foliage. The glossy narrow leaves remain dark green throughout the winter.
Mrs. Betty Robertson Rhododendron will grow to be about 6 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 6 feet. It tends to be a little leggy, with a typical clearance of 1 foot from the ground, and is suitable for planting under power lines. It grows at a slow rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for 40 years or more.
