Rhododendron Yakushimanum 'Silberwolke' - Shrub - Height 30-40cm - 10lt

Rhododendron Yakushimanum ‘Silberwolke’ is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a compact, refined, and reliably hardy evergreen shrub. Its tidy, rounded growth habit makes it particularly suitable for smaller gardens, front borders, or spaces where a well-behaved plant with year-round structure is desired. The cultivar’s distinctive silver-tinted new foliage adds an elegant touch, offering visual interest even outside the flowering season.

This rhododendron thrives in partial shade, making it ideal for woodland gardens, north- or east-facing beds, or mixed borders with dappled light. Like other Yakushimanum hybrids, ‘Silberwolke’ prefers acidic, well-drained soil rich in organic matter, and it performs beautifully when paired with other ericaceous plants such as azaleas, pieris, or heathers. Its heritage gives it notable cold hardiness, enabling it to withstand harsher winters and remain dependable in cooler climates.

The soft pink buds that open into pale, cloud-like white blooms bring a delicate yet striking spring display. With proper mulching, consistent moisture, and protection from harsh midday sun, ‘Silberwolke’ becomes a resilient, low-maintenance, and highly ornamental choice that elevates both small and large garden spaces.
