    Rhododendron ‘Lemon Mist’ is an elegant evergreen shrub admired for its soft creamy lemon-yellow flowers and lush glossy foliage. Flowering abundantly through spring, this beautiful rhododendron produces large rounded trusses of delicate pale yellow blooms that create a fresh luminous effect in the garden.

    The subtle colouring of ‘Lemon Mist’ makes it exceptionally versatile, pairing beautifully with deeper coloured rhododendrons, woodland perennials and layered garden planting schemes. Its evergreen foliage provides structure and interest year-round while the spring flowering creates a refined and calming display.

    Hardy and easy to grow in suitable conditions, Rhododendron ‘Lemon Mist’ performs particularly well in cooler New Zealand gardens and is ideal as a specimen shrub, woodland feature or part of a mixed acid-loving border.
