Rhododendron - Nova Zembla
The Rhododendron Nova Zembla, 'Rhododendron 'Nova Zembla', is a dense-growing, small evergreen shrub that displays large trusses of flowers.
The red flowers will appear in mid spring. The Nova Zembla is very effective as an accent plant.
The dense foliage makes a good foundation plant or hedge. They are ideal for lining a partially shaded driveway or separating a walkway in the front yard.
For best results, feed with an acid fertilizer after bloom and keep the roots cool with a thick layer of mulch. Keep the soil pH between 4.5 and 5.5 for best results.
This plant will attract butterflies and other wildlife. It is generally heat and sun tolerant and perhaps the most widely grown and successful red hybrid for harsh climates.
