Rhododendron 'Gudrun'

Rhododendron 'Gudrun'

’Gudrun’ in flower is superb. The blooms are white with a touch of pink at the edges and a dark blotch on the upper petal, from a distance resembling ’P. M. A. Tigerstedt’. ‘Gudrun’ is one of the German T. J. R. Seidel’s hybrids from the early 1900s, putting pollen from ‘Madame Linden’ onto ‘Eggebrechtii’. The antecedents of these parent hybrids are unknown. ‘Gudrun’ grows to about 1.5m in 10 years.
