Rhododendron ‘Anna Rose Whitney’

Are you looking to introduce reliable, year-round structure and vibrant late-spring colour to a shaded corner of your garden? Meet the Rhododendron ‘Anna Rose Whitney’, a wonderfully vigorous, spreading, evergreen shrub known for its substantial presence and deep rose-pink blooms.

Throughout the year this plant maintains its dense, dark green foliage, offering superb screening when many deciduous plants are bare, culminating in a spectacular flush of large, showy flowers appearing reliably in May. While it is generally noted for limited wildlife value, its striking appearance makes it a firm favourite for creating a focal point in the garden.

For success in the UK climate, ensure it is positioned in partial shade to full shade, thriving best in soil that is consistently moist, well-drained, and ideally acidic, benefiting greatly from soil rich in organic matter. This variety is ideal as a specimen shrub, perfect for planting within mixed borders or lending an established feel to woodland garden settings.
