Rhododendron for Sale

A Wash of Soft Pastel Colors, Lightening with Maturity

This A. Waterer introduction is a classic, beloved by generations of gardeners.

One of the classic Rhododendrons, 'Percy Wiseman' offers late spring blooms of unusual beauty and great changeability. The flowers open in a wash of pastel peach, pink, and creamy-yellow tones, then mature to a creamy-ivory with faint pink and green strokes. Borne in clusters of a dozen or more all over compact, very free-flowering shrubs, they are a breathtaking sight during their long season of beauty.

This Rhodie was introduced by master plantsman A. Waterer, and is one of the famous Yakushimanum ("Yak") hybrids. The Yaks revolutionized Rhododendron growing with their emphasis on compact habits and extreme floriferousness. 'Percy Wiseman' is just 3 to 4 1/2 feet tall and slightly wider, yet it completely covers itself in blooms against shiny dark green foliage.

Thriving in sun in northern climates but appreciative of dappled or afternoon shade farther south, this Rhodie is the perfect foundation plant, hedge, or border standout. It needs little maintenance to flower heavily season after season, and fares well even in heavy clay soils.

Very Disease- and Pest-Resistant

Capistrano freely produces frilly, lemon-yellow flowers in midseason

Rhododendron Capistrano is a Wayside Original Introduction and we think it is destined to become a classic. Frilly, rich lemon-yellow flowers are freely produced midseason in large, rounded trusses. Dark green leaves are somewhat rounded at the apex.

The late Dr. David Leach, a pioneer in the development of hardy Rhododendrons for American gardens, considered this to be his best yellow. Plant it in your garden and we're sure you'll think so too!

Growth habit of 'Capistrano' is compact and spreading, reaching 4 to 5 feet tall and 5 to 6 feet wide at maturity. This plant has a very disease-and pest-resistant constitution. Cannot ship to Oregon or Washington.

Simply One of the Best Rhodies Ever Grown

A compact and very floriferous version of the classic favorite 'PJM.'

One of the most popular Rhododendrons is 'PJM,' and this compact version is even better, with larger blooms, more substantial foliage substance and shape, and terrific floriferousness. Cold-hardy to -25 degrees F, it's also a fine choice for the north, where many Rhodies are not happy. If you are looking for an early-blooming, absolutely foolproof Rhododendron, 'PJM Compacta' is the one for you!

This shrub reaches only 3 to 4 feet high and wide, and nearly every inch is covered in rich, fragrant lavender-pink blooms from late winter into spring. Each flower is 2 to 3 inches long, and held in trusses about 4 inches across. The foliage is attractive long after bloomtime, with a thick, glossy, very pest-resistant substance that keeps it looking good even through the worst summer heat. In winter, it turns an attractive shade of mahogany.

'PJM Compacta' arises from the work of Rhododendron breeder P.J. Mezitt, who contributed much to the beauty of the garden. The original 'PJM' was introduced in the 1940s, and was a breakthrough in cold-hardiness. Developed in Massachusetts, it brought the beauty of this shrub farther north. This compact version is even better, it must be said, with its larger and more showy blooms and durable foliage, all in a very neat, rounded habit.
