The Minnetonka Rhododendron is a dome-shaped evergreen shrub with glossy, dark-green leaves, which will grow to 3 feet tall and 4 feet wide, ultimately reaching as much as 6 feet tall. In May it has spectacular deep purple flowers that completely smother the bush in blossoms, making a stunning display in your garden. Grow it in beds and borders, or plant it in a woodland area. Grow it in planters and tubs if your soil is not suitable for these plants.

  • Beautiful dome-shaped evergreen shrub over 3 feet tall
  • Smothered in rich purple blooms in May
  • Hardy in zone 4, so ideal for northern gardeners
  • Attractive foliage looks good all year round
  • Can be grown in planters if you donā€™t have suitable soil

A position with morning sun and afternoon shade is perfect for the Minnetonka Rhododendron. It will also grow in the dappled shade beneath deciduous trees. This is an exceptionally hardy variety, that grows well in zone 4. The soil should be rich and well-drained, but always moist, and this plant is not drought resistant. The soil should be acidic, with a pH of 6.5 or less. It will grow well in a pot for years if you donā€™t have suitable soil. Use a potting soil blended for acid-loving plants.
