Rhododendron Joan Elder

Description

Rhododendron ‘Joan Elder’ is a vigorous evergreen rhododendron valued for its cheerful primrose-yellow spring flowers and strong growth habit. The blooms are arranged in semi-lax trusses, creating a relaxed yet abundant display that brightens garden borders, woodland areas, or mixed shrub beds.
Growing to a medium size, this variety forms a well-balanced shrub that provides evergreen structure throughout the year. Its lively yellow flowers offer excellent contrast when planted alongside darker-leaved rhododendrons or pastel-coloured spring-flowering shrubs.
‘Joan Elder’ thrives in well-drained, acidic soil, with partial sun protecting the foliage and enhancing flower colour. Mulching helps retain moisture, support healthy roots, and encourage consistent flowering. Its vigorous habit and reliable flowering make it a standout for gardeners wanting a low-maintenance yet vibrant yellow rhododendron.
Rhododendron ‘Joan Elder’ is ideal for gardeners seeking a hardy, yellow-flowering rhododendron to add spring brightness and year-round appeal.
