PRINCE YAKUSHIMA RHODODENDRON

Rhododendron degronianum yakushimanum 'Koichiro Wada' is commonly referred to as Koichiro Wada Rhododendron. This is a somewhat rare variety that comes from one island in Japan, Yakushima Island. It is a very compact, dome-shaped, small evergreen shrub with dark spotted, light pink flowers in spring that quickly turn pure white. Glossy, olive green leaves have a thick felted covering of fawn hairs on the brown undersides that curve downwards.

Koichiro Wada Rhododendron is easy to grow and thrives in partial sun in rich, fertile, acidic, evenly moist, well-drained soils.

Planting Tips ⓘ

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in rich, moist, acidic, and well-draining soil, selecting a location that provides partial shade or filtered light to protect the foliage from harsh, direct sun. These shallow-rooted shrubs require consistent moisture to remain healthy, especially during the first growing season until they are fully established. Prune immediately after the flowering period concludes, as new buds for the next year are set shortly after blossoms fade; removing spent blooms and light tip-pruning encourages a fuller, more vigorous habit. Apply a generous layer of organic mulch around the root zone to conserve moisture and regulate soil temperature, ensuring the material remains a few inches away from the crown to prevent stem rot.
