Rhododendron ‘Gumpo White’ is a wonderful hardy shrub that is much loved for its trumpet-shaped, pearly white blooms. They will appear en masse from April until May and cloak a low growing, spreading habit of deep green leaflets. A beautiful addition to the front of borders, patio pots and tropical themed landscapes, it will really liven up dull outdoor spaces and remain easy to care for all year round. Happy to develop in semi shade, watch it thrive to a height of 60cm, along with a spread of 120cm. A low growing, spreading variety that makes an elegant feature plant for a rockery or planted en masse at the edge of acid woodlands. From Aril to May, Rhododendron ‘Gumpo White’ is covered in large, white blooms that stand out beautifully against the dark evergreen leaves. Grow Rhododendrons in moist, well drained, acid soil that has been enriched with plenty of well rotted organic matter. Choose a position in semi or dappled shade with shelter from cold drying winds. Many dwarf Rhododendrons can cope with a sunny position provided that the soil remains reliably moist. Where soil conditions are alkaline, Rhododendron plants are best grown in patio containers, using a mix of ericaceous compost and a soil based compost such as John Innes No. 3. Rhododendrons are surface rooting so it is important to avoid planting them too deeply.
