White Opal

White Opal rhododendron is an exceptionally lovely hybrid from the late Jim Barlup, featuring beautiful magenta buds that open to whitish flowers with a deep read throat. Blooms generally open in April and form full, rounded trusses. A subtle yellow accent may also appear on the upper dorsal, adding another layer of interest to the flowers. White Opal has an even growth habit that reaches around 4' tall x 4' wide at maturity. Place in full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. Hardy to 0°F when protected from windchill.
