Family Ericaceae

Rhododendron ‘Weston’s Lemon Drop’ is a hardy azalea from the Weston series, known for its luminous summer bloom of delicately fragrant pale yellow flowers, often tinged with warmer hues in bud. Its rounded, supple habit integrates perfectly into flowerbeds, light undergrowth, or naturalized landscapes, where it brings softness and brilliance in season. Its dark green deciduous foliage creates a beautiful contrast with the bloom and takes on interesting autumnal shades. Attracting pollinators and easy to grow in acidic, rich, well-drained soil, it prefers a sunny to semi-shaded exposure. Rhododendron ‘Weston’s Lemon Drop’ is an excellent choice for those who wish to extend summer flowering with a bright and refined touch.
