Rhododendron 'Kodiak'

Rhododendron 'Kodiak' is a broadleaf evergreen shrub distinguished by its ornamental appeal and garden performance. Deep pink buds unfold into luminous white flower trusses each spring, while emerging foliage displays a distinctive silvery tomentum with elegantly recurved margins. The plant adapts well to diverse light environments ranging from full sun to partial shade, requiring consistently moist conditions for optimal growth. It flourishes in acidic, nutrient-rich, well-draining soil that supports vigorous establishment. This variety offers notable verticillium wilt resistance, providing reliable performance in landscapes where disease pressure may be a limiting factor for other cultivars.
