Not all Rhododendrons are created equal, some are Elite! The Elite PJM Rhododendron (Rhododendron 'P.M.J. Elite') is an opulent offering with beautiful trusses of lavender-pink radiant blooms!
Featuring cold hardiness and easy care, these hybrids are vigorous, compact shrubs bursting with vivid blooms in early April. The bright blooms attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, searching for an early spring meal!
Year-round color during the bleak winter's absence of green, the foliage is smooth green, shiny and stays fresh all year. In fall, the leaves turn a reddish-purple fall color until winter.
Compact and dense-growing, broadleaf evergreen shrubs like Elite PJM Rhododendron make excellent foundation plants or hedges, just the right height for privacy.
Effective accents and specimens in shady borders, that bloom color beautifies every type of garden style. Be sure to plant one where you can see its spring display!
Line a partially shaded driveway or separate the front yard from the street with these urban environment tolerant shrubs. Mass plantings for erosion control, also benefit from the good looks this evergreen shrub offers!
Elite PJM gives your mixed-shrub and evergreen borders lush color while the bold evergreen color provides a strong, year-round backdrop for your summer-blooming flowers and perennials.
Rhododendron are perfect for Asian-inspired and, Zen gardens, as well as formal, architecture plantings. Woodland settings or under larger trees, make Elite PJM feel completely at home.
Elite PJM loves the part shade and dappled sun areas, needing afternoon shade when planted in the hottest climates. Cold hardy in growing zones 4-8, the cooler climates allow PJM to handle full sun.
Appreciating organically rich, well-drained soil, with consistent moisture, Elite PJM prefers slightly acidic soil. It's perfectly suited to plant around evergreens.
A generous layer of mulch over the root system holds in water and keeps the roots insulated from both heat and the chill. Rhododendron also benefits from protection from cold, dry winter winds. Planting by a fenceline or closer to your home to keep Elite PJM looking its best.
Like other Rhododendrons, Elite PJM shouldn't need much pruning, but if necessary, it is best to prune right after its finished blooming.
