Unexpected and beautiful! The Korean Rhododendron (Rhodendron yedoense var.poukhanense 'Compact') is a deciduous shrub with lovely, early spring flowers. Your Korean Rhododendron is beloved for its early spring blooms. The stunning, rosy-purple flowers display an eye-catching, funnel shape that will create an entrancing picture for your early spring landscape.
The flowers open successively from clusters of buds at the end of the shoots before the leaves even begin to unfurl. Having a Korean Rhododendron in your yard ensures that you'll be seeing many early butterflies and hummingbirds as they're drawn to the bright, vibrant blooms.
The 3-inch long leaves have pointed tips and bring your Korean Rhododendron a lush, green appearance throughout the summer months. Brush against a few of the elliptical leaves to enjoy their pleasing fragrance. When fall arrives, the foliage offers one last gasp of color with yellow and red shades for your autumn landscape.
Planting and Application:
A spectacular specimen and facer shrub alike, use these lower growing, wide-spreading accents anywhere around the garden! Plant in front of larger banks of bushes and skirting the trunks of larger trees where they'll happily thrive in the shade of their larger neighbors.
Plant some in a grouping in your front yard for an amazing early spring display. These would also be a terrific shrub border for your side yard, or even just one near a window would be a delightful way to watch spring welcomed in.
- Spectacular Early Spring Bright Purple Blooms
- Handsome Fragrant Foliage
