Rhododendron 'Capistrano'
Rhododendron 'Capistrano', also known as 'Capistrano' rhododendron, is an evergreen ornamental shrub cherished for its vibrant blooms and well-balanced, compact habit. This variety forms a dense, rounded bush that integrates seamlessly into flowerbeds, woodland gardens, and shrub borders where acid-loving plants are favored. In spring, the shrub produces large inflorescences composed of delicate light yellow to cream-yellow flowers, often marked with a small greenish to golden fleck in the throat. This soft and elegant coloration brings a luminous touch to landscape designs and contrasts beautifully with the thick, slightly glossy, dark green foliage. The blooms attract pollinating insects and quickly become a focal point in the garden. This rhododendron prefers acidic, organically rich, and well-drained soils and thrives best in partial shade.
