Trusses of soft lilac-pink bloom in mid to late spring, carried on a broad evergreen shrub that shrugs off winters down to Zone 4.
Roseum Pink is one of the most dependable large-leaf rhododendrons you can plant. Each spring it covers itself in full, rounded clusters of funnel-shaped flowers in a clear rosy-pink, set against glossy, leathery dark green leaves that stay on the plant all year. Left to its own devices it builds into a rounded, well-branched shrub of 6 to 8 feet tall and wide, giving you both a generous spring show and an evergreen backbone the other eleven months. It is a natural for the lightly shaded edge of a yard, a woodland border, or anywhere you want lasting structure and a reliable flush of color.
Why growers choose the Roseum Pink Rhododendron
Cold-hardy and tough. Rated for Zones 4 through 9, it stands up to hard northern winters that turn back many broadleaf evergreens.
Big spring trusses. Rounded clusters of soft lilac-pink, funnel-shaped flowers smother the plant in mid to late spring.
Evergreen all year. Thick, dark green leaves hold through winter, so the shrub keeps its presence and screening value long after the blooms fade.
Pollinator draw. The spring trusses are a welcome early nectar source for bees and visiting hummingbirds.
Handsome, full habit. A moderate grower that fills out into a dense, rounded form of 6 to 8 feet, needing little shaping to look its best.
Use it as a foundation planting on a north or east exposure, group several for an informal evergreen hedge or screen, or set it at the back of a shade border with ferns, hostas, and azaleas for a layered woodland look.
