Rhododendron, Sappho

Rhododendron 'Sappho' is a stunning and graceful evergreen shrub that captivates with its unique features. This variety boasts large, white flowers with a dark purple-black blotch on each petal, creating a striking contrast. The blooms emerge in late spring, forming beautiful clusters that are a sight to behold. 'Sappho' thrives in acidic, well-draining soil and prefers a partially shaded location. With a compact size, reaching around 4-6 feet (1.2-1.8 meters) in height and spread, it fits well in smaller gardens or can be grown in containers. The 'Sappho' rhododendron adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to any landscape with its exquisite blossoms.

To grow Rhododendron 'Sappho', provide it with well-drained, acidic soil rich in organic matter. Plant it in a partially shaded area with protection from harsh sun. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
