Rhododendron ‘Nancy Evans’

Rhododendron ‘Nancy Evans’ is a compact evergreen shrub valued for its colourful young foliage and striking amber-yellow spring flowers. It is an excellent choice for mixed borders, woodland-style gardens, containers and specimen planting.

The plant produces attractive young foliage in bronze shades, gradually maturing to glossy green and providing year-round colour and structure.

In late spring, rounded trusses of orange-flushed amber-yellow flowers open from distinctive orange-red buds, creating a warm and vibrant display against the darker evergreen foliage.

Its compact habit makes ‘Nancy Evans’ particularly useful for smaller gardens and mixed borders, where its colourful flowers and foliage can be enjoyed up close.

Plant in partial shade in moist, well-drained, acidic soil. Ericaceous compost is recommended for the best results, particularly when planting in containers or where the existing soil is not naturally acidic. Avoid alkaline or lime-rich soils, as Rhododendrons require acidic conditions to thrive.

With its bronze young foliage, glossy green leaves and warm-toned spring flowers, Rhododendron ‘Nancy Evans’ is a beautiful choice for adding colour and year-round structure to an acid-loving garden.
