Rhododendron 'Multimaculatum'

A venerable hybrid cultivar celebrated for its outstanding resilience and ornamental appeal, 'Multimaculatum' produces abundant sprays of pure white starry blooms marked with distinctive rust-coloured freckling throughout the spring season. The compact evergreen shrub develops an elegant rounded form clothed in elongated, lustrous dark foliage that provides year-round structure. Introduced over 150 years ago, this cultivar remains a premier choice among discerning gardeners for its superior cold hardiness, vigorous constitution, and spectacular floral display. Optimal performance is achieved in cool-climate regions with cool winters and temperate summers, positioned in dappled light with acidic, organically enriched, freely draining soil. An exceptional specimen for woodland settings and shade gardens in northern temperate zones.
