Discover the exquisite beauty and incredible resilience of Rhododendron brachycarpum var. tigerstedtii, also known as Tigerstedt Rhododendron. Renowned for its exceptional cold hardiness, this vigorous variety is an ideal addition to any garden seeking year-round appeal. With elegant, dark, shiny green leaves that exude an almost tropical allure, this compact plant gradually matures into an impressive shrub, reaching heights of 4-8 feet over a decade. Its captivating floral display—consisting of small-flowered trusses boasting 8-20 blooms each—ranges from pristine white to pale rose, deep rose, or yellowish hues, often adorned with brownish-green spots. Though slow to flower in its early years, Tigerstedt Rhododendron promises a stunning late-season spectacle. Originating from the east-central regions of Korea, this variety is a testament to survival, enduring temperatures as low as -49°F. Named after Dr. Carl Tigerstedt, this rhododendron is celebrated not just for its aesthetic appeal but also for its remarkable adaptability, significantly contributing to creating frost-hardy hybrids. Whether standing resilient against frigid winds or thriving on dry mineral soils, Tigerstedt Rhododendron is a botanical marvel.
