Rhododendron (Ledum) groenlandicum Helma

Rhododendron groenlandicum 'Helma', also known as Labrador Tea, is a distinctive evergreen shrub prized for its fragrant, narrow, dark green leaves with a softly felted underside. In late spring to early summer, it produces clusters of small, starry white flowers that add a gentle beauty to the garden. The aromatic foliage releases a pleasant scent when brushed or crushed, adding another sensory dimension to borders and woodland gardens.

This compact, hardy shrub is well-suited to acidic, moist, well-drained soils and prefers a spot in partial shade, though it will tolerate sun in cooler climates. Ideal for rock gardens, heather beds, or alongside other acid-loving plants, 'Helma' provides year-round structure and interest with minimal care. Simply trim lightly after flowering to maintain its shape, and pair with rhododendrons, heathers, or ferns for a serene and textured planting scheme. Its neat size and unique foliage make 'Helma' a lovely addition to gardens where space is at a premium or where fragrance and texture are key.

Supplied in approx 1.5-2 litre containers.
