Teddy Bear Rhododendron

Cuddly in name but bold in beauty, Rhododendron ‘Teddy Bear’ is a showpiece evergreen shrub that earns its moniker from its stunning foliage. New growth emerges with a rich, bronze, almost velvety texture—reminiscent of a teddy bear’s soft coat. As it matures, the leaves transition to a glossy, deep green, creating a dynamic, year-round display. In mid-spring, creamy white flowers with golden accents bloom in clusters, adding a layer of elegance to this already striking plant. Perfect for borders, foundation plantings, or containers, ‘Teddy Bear’ is a garden favorite that brings both warmth and sophistication to any landscape.

Watering

Watering Needs:

Needs regular watering - weekly, or more often in extreme heat.
  • Light: Thrives in partial shade to dappled sunlight; protect from harsh afternoon rays to maintain vibrant foliage and blooms.
  • Soil: Prefers acidic, well-draining soil enriched with organic matter.
  • Watering: Keep soil evenly moist, especially during blooming season, but avoid overwatering. Mulch helps conserve moisture and regulate soil temperature.
  • Maintenance: Prune lightly after flowering to shape and encourage fresh growth. Fertilize in early spring with a formula designed for acid-loving plants.
  • Hardiness: Hardy to USDA zones 7-9, making it ideal for mild to moderate climates.
  • Additional Tips: The bronze-toned new leaves are a striking feature even when the plant isn’t in bloom. Pair with contrasting green or silver-leafed plants to highlight its unique texture and color shifts.
