A Grower Perspective

This fantastic photo says what you need to know about ‘Roseum Pink’. Clear bright pink flowers, so lovely on an evergreen bush that grows 5’ by 6’. This is a great size for a specimen plant, front and center, or a substantial easy to keep hedge. Rhododendrons have been used successfully as a flowering privacy screen between closely spaced houses. They are nice to intersperse in the mixed border adding an evergreen element in the winter when many perennials are underground. What rhododendrons like: acid soil, deadheading of spent blooms, full or partial sun, summer water, deer (because they don’t eat them), woodchip mulch and someone to enjoy them.
