The Roseum Elegans Rhododendron is a wonderful and vigorous cold-hardy rhododendrons, with long, glossy evergreen leaves. It flowers spectacularly in May or June, with big, bold trusses of many large blooms. They are a wonderful lilac-purple color, turning more pink-purple as they mature. It forms a handsome rounded bush 6 to 8 feet tall and wide, looking almost as lovely when not in bloom as when it is. Perfect for beds, foundation planting and woodland areas.

  • Huge trusses of bold blossoms in purple-pinks
  • Striking evergreen bush with long glossy leaves
  • Very hardy, and suitable for zone 4
  • Grows best in acid soils
  • Ideal for semi-shaded spots in your garden

Partial shade will produce the best results with the Roseum Elegans Rhododendron, with some morning sun, or in the light dappled shade beneath deciduous trees. It is very hardy, thriving even in zone 4. It should be grown in rich, moist, well-drained soil that is acidic, with a pH value below 6.5. if you don’t have suitable soil it grows perfectly for many years in a large tub, using soil blended for acid-loving plants. It’s usually free of pests and diseases and deer normally won’t touch it.
