Rhododendron Lemon Dream

3′ 0ºF M -/-/-
Prolific soft yellow flowers have wavy edges and are sometimes double. The deep green foliage is rounded in shape, and emerge with cinnamon indumentum on the undersides. Wider than tall habit. A Great Plant Pick.

Rhododendron Notes

After the name of each rhody or azalea, we have listed a series of numbers. First is the size of the plant in 10 years. Then, hardiness ratings in degrees Fahrenheit. Bloom times in our area:

• VE- Jan-April 1
• E- April 1-May1
• EM- May1-May15
• M- May 15-June1
• ML-June 1-June 15
• L- June15- July 1
• VL- July 1- Aug

Our descriptions also include American Rhododendron Society ratings when possible. The three numbers (i.e. 3/4/4 ) rate the flower, plant, and performance in the garden. A ‘5’ is an excellent, but uncommon, rating. ‘3’ ratings are common, but a lower rating does not mean the plant is not worth growing. ‘-/-/-‘ indicates a rhododendron that has not yet been rated by the ARS.
