Percy-Wiseman' Rhododendron, Midseason Rhododendron, Evergreen Rhododendron
Incredibly beautiful and exceptionally floriferous, Rhododendron ‘Percy Wiseman’ is a semi-dwarf evergreen shrub with color-changing flowers. Blooming in mid to late spring, it displays an abundance of ball-shaped trusses, each counting up to 13-15 trumpet-shaped flowers, about 2 in. across (5 cm). Opening creamy pink, the flowers gradually turn creamy white with a yellow throat as they mature, after passing through shades of red, pink, and pale purplish pink. Since each flower opens and ages at different times, ‘Percy Wiseman provides a ravishing and colorful display. The evergreen leaves are glossy, narrow, and dark green on a fairly compact, rounded, and well-branched shrub. An outstanding degronianum var. yakushimanum hybrid, ‘Percy Wiseman’ is easy to grow and tough as it can stand temperatures as low as -5°F (-21°C).
