For enthusiasts of rhododendrons seeking to kick off the flowering season in style, 'Christmas Cheer' proves to be an invaluable addition. With its early bloom time, typically starting in late winter and reaching its peak in early spring, this cultivar extends the garden's period of interest by several weeks compared to its counterparts. Adorned with trusses of delicate pink buds that unfurl into blush-coloured flowers, gradually transitioning to creamy white as they mature, this award-winning (RHS), acid soil-loving rhododendron offers a captivating display of beauty and elegance for woodland gardens, and suitable large pots.
