Rhododendron catawbiense 'Cunningham's White'
Choose Cunningham's White Rhododendron if you want a tough white-flowering evergreen for a shaded foundation or mixed border. The tradeoff is a quieter flower show than pink or red types, and it still needs acidic, well-drained soil.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | The white flowers are clean and useful, but the plant reads more as steady structure than a bold focal point. |
| Growth Rate | C+ | It fills in gradually, so do not buy it expecting quick coverage. |
| Maintenance | B | Once planted correctly, it asks mainly for mulch, moisture checks, and light cleanup after bloom. |
| Deer Resistance | C | Deer may browse rhododendrons, especially in winter or high-pressure neighborhoods. |
| Small Space Fit | C+ | It can work near foundations, but it needs room to round out naturally. |
| Screening Value | B- | The evergreen foliage gives useful cover, though it is better for soft screening than a privacy wall. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this as the safer white rhododendron when the customer wants dependable structure more than a dramatic flower display. Plant it high, mulch it, and avoid wet soil.

Yes, but heavier shade usually means fewer flowers.
Yes, if you leave enough room and avoid reflected heat.
It does best in acidic, well-drained soil with mulch over the roots.

They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
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!
