Rhododendron 'Cameo Glory' (Pink Rhododendron)

'Cameo Glory' is a pink rhododendron with real refinement. The blooms are a soft, warm pink with a lighter center, the trusses large and well-formed, carried above handsome dark evergreen foliage. It is not a loud or garish pink but a genuinely elegant one, the kind that works with a wide range of garden colors and styles without competing.

Like all rhododendrons, 'Cameo Glory' thrives in the cool, moist, acidic conditions that the Oregon coast provides so generously. Plant it in a spot with filtered light or morning sun, keep the soil consistently moist but well-drained, and mulch the root zone well to maintain the cool, even moisture rhododendrons prefer.

This variety is a strong performer in the Pacific Northwest and one of those shrubs that rewards very little effort with a lot of beauty.
