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.

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!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
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!
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…
