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
  • Yellow & Reddish Fall Color
  • Low Border, Edging, Groundcover, Specimen & Accent

#ProPlantTips for Care:

This deciduous Rhododendron will grow approximately 2 1/2 feet tall with a 3-4 feet mature spread. It has an upright, rounded nature and prefers partial to full shade with moist soils, one thing Rhodendrons require is well-drained soil that's never soggy. Prune after flowering to ensure you won't miss a single bloom next year, wait too long and you may remove next year's display.

  • Full Shade & Partial Sun
  • Moderate, Consistent Moisture
  • Prune After Flowering
  • Well-Drained Soil
  • Cold Hardy!

Rhododendrons have always been prized for their remarkable spring color. Once you have a Korean Rhododendron in your yard, you'll wonder how you ever lived without one! Hurry and order this landscaping favorite at NatureHills.com!
