Rhododendron catwabiense 'Album'
Choose Album Rhododendron if you want a white-flowering evergreen for a shaded foundation or woodland edge. Its strength is clean spring bloom with structure after flowers pass; the tradeoff is it needs space and acidic, well-drained soil.
Buy This If
You want white blooms.
You have room to let it fill out.
Your site has filtered shade.
Skip This If
You need a narrow shrub.
Soil stays soggy.
Deer browse heavily nearby.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
A-
The white spring bloom stands out well against dark evergreen foliage without looking too flashy.
Growth Rate
C+
It is not a fast filler, so buy for the finished look rather than quick coverage.
Maintenance
B
Care is straightforward once sited correctly, but poor soil or too much exposure will cause problems.
Deer Resistance
C
Deer may browse rhododendrons, especially in winter or where pressure is steady.
Small Space Fit
C
This is a full shrub and can crowd walks, windows, or tight foundation beds.
Screening Value
B
It gives solid evergreen mass, but it is better as a broad backdrop than a formal screen.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Album Rhododendron where the customer has shade, space, and decent acidic soil. If the bed is tight or deer are regular visitors, we would steer you to another option.

Customers Usually Ask
Will it stay green in winter?
Yes, it is a broadleaf evergreen, though leaves may curl during cold weather.
Does it need pruning?
Usually not much; prune right after bloom if shaping is needed.
Can it grow near a foundation?
Yes, if the bed is deep enough and it is not crowded against the house.
Why Rhododendrons & Azaleas Work
Strong Spring Color Large, vibrant blooms create high visual impact early in the season.
Shade Tolerance Performs well in partial shade where many flowering plants fail.
Evergreen Structure (Rhododendrons) Provides year-round presence and foundation stability.

Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!

Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
