About this plant

This superior hybrid rhododendron brightens the late winter and early spring landscape with a spectacular display of long-lasting, lavender-pink to rosy-purple flowers, offering a welcome splash of color when little else is in bloom. Its compact, rounded form and attractive, olive-green foliage, which transitions to a captivating mahogany-purple in colder months, provide year-round interest and structure to any garden. Ideal for foundational plantings, woodland gardens, or as a striking specimen, the PJM Rhododendron is remarkably cold-hardy and adaptable. Its dense habit makes it an excellent choice for creating a low hedge or adding textural contrast to mixed borders, thriving in partial shade where its vibrant blooms truly stand out. 'A Cut Above' proudly recommends the PJM Rhododendron for its exceptional hardiness and dazzling seasonal display, offering a refined touch to both formal and informal garden designs.

Care & maintenance

Requires well-drained, acidic soil rich in organic matter. Mulch annually with pine needles or bark to maintain soil moisture and acidity. Protect from harsh winter winds in exposed locations. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth. Feed with an acid-loving plant fertilizer in early spring.
