Rhododendron 'Percy Wiseman' Shrub
Rhododendron ‘Percy Wiseman’ is a lovely evergreen shrub growing delicate, peach-coloured flowers. Opening from pink buds, the flowers are trumpet-shaped and grow in large, round trusses. They emerge in springtime in a pink-blushed cream colour, gradually turning a creamy-white as the season progresses. The pale yellow throats of the flowers are accompanied by orange freckles, completing Percy Wiseman’s beautiful pastel display. Glossy, evergreen foliage provides a foil to the flowers as well as year-round interest.
Like other Yakushimanum varieties, this rhododendron shrub has a compact growth habit. Percy Wiseman prefers full sun to partial shade and a moist but well-draining, acidic soil, and will grow to 2 x 2 metres in 20 years. This easy-to-grow rhododendron has won the RHS Award of Garden Merit and can tolerate very cold temperatures.
