Rhododendron Haaga

Stunning pink blooms on a new Rhododendron variety from the University of Helsinki, Finland, Rhododendron Haaga (Rhododendron x 'Haaga'), on a hardy, dwarf form!

Producing frilly, incredibly showy, dark-pink flowers which contrast nicely with the dark green, coarse foliage that is glossy and remains handsome year-round! The Haaga will begin to bloom in May when hoards of bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds seek out this amazing nectar resource.

The large groups of showy pink flowers appear even on young plants. For the remainder of the year, the Haaga is a dense evergreen shrub and it is a highly valued landscape ornamental.

How to Use Rhododendron Haaga In The Landscape

Haaga Rhododendron adds an amazing designer touch to the smaller, urban landscape, perfectly sized as an accent hedge or screen. Year-round, vibrant hues are perfect for foundation plantings, and a 4-season backdrop for smaller shrubs and perennials.

Haaga is perfect for those cool, moist sites on the edges of woods or woodland gardens where they get part shade.

#ProPlantTips For Care

Haaga Rhodendron loves part shade and dappled sun areas, and appreciates afternoon cover in the warmer growing zones.

A bit fussy about soil conditions, these need rich, slightly acidic, cooler, moist soils with a nice layer of mulch over the root system to keep them cooler and hold in more moisture. This plant needs excellent drainage and a peat moss soil additive. The roots will rot in poorly drained soil.

Haaga doesn't do well in windy sites so protect young plants from cold, drying winter winds. If pruning would be required, trim only right after the flowers are done in spring, to avoid removing any of the current season's flowers!

You'll adore this new variety of cold-hardy Haaga Rhododendron as much as we do here at Nature Hills! For amazing pink blooms and dwarf versatility, you'll want to be the first one on your block to have this lovely plant, so call right away to order before Haaga sells out!
