Add color and structure to your shaded or partially shaded landscape with this compact rhododendron. Soft yellow blooms—unlike the typical pink or purple flowers of other rhododendron—add warmth to low-light spaces. Rich evergreen leaves keep your garden looking polished and full, even in the off-season. With a neat, compact habit, this rhododendron fits beautifully into foundation plantings, woodland borders or shaded containers.
Uncommon Coloring: Capistrano’s blooms are a refreshing departure from the usual pinks and purples of rhododendrons. In late spring, this variety puts out clusters of bright, buttery yellow flowers that truly shine in partial shade. These soft hues almost glow against the dark green leaves, creating a striking contrast that livens up any landscape.
Evergreen Structure with Compact Appeal: This rhododendron stays lush and green year-round, with a contained growing habit that doesn’t require constant pruning or upkeep. Reaching just 3-5’ tall with a 5-6’ spread, its compact size also makes it ideal for tight spaces or smaller gardens where larger shrubs would overwhelm.
Shade-Friendly and Cold-Tolerant: Capistrano is happiest in dappled shade or partial shade but can take a bit more sun in cooler northern regions, and does best in afternoon shade. That adaptability makes it a great fit for tricky spots that don’t get full sun, though it does require well-drained soil. And since it’s cold-hardy, gardeners in cooler zones can enjoy its flowers and foliage with confidence.
