    Pure white flowers cling to this low growing, bushy plant which has become a favorite of many people. Its deep green, dense foliage is highlighted with bronze tones and is prettiest when grown in full sun. This spicy scented hybrid is being planted as a low border and as a small mass planting to bring attention to its pretty foliage. (minus var. minus Carolinianum Group x ciliatum)

    An old-timer that remains popular because it thrives pretty much everywhere rhododendrons can be grown. Its early-midseason flowers are white, plentiful, and showcased nicely by deep green foliage. Rounded, compact habit. AGM winner.
