Details about Description:

Bloom Color/Feature: Rhododendrons blooms come in hundreds of various colors, sizes, and shapes. We do our best to describe what you will experience when your Rhodies starts blooming.

Growth Potential in 10 years: This is a standard used to rate rhododendrons. Your rhodie may vary depending on soil, climate, and location.

All Rhododendrons can be pruned regularly just after they have finished blooming to maintain the shape and size you desire.

Cold Rating: Rhododendrons are rated only for their level of cold tolerance. Rhododendrons can survive in warmer climates as long as several critical factors are met. It is best to visit the American Rhododendron Society Web Page to get a good idea as to what climates they can thrive in. Very simplified, they need to have moist, well-drained soil, and the ability to stay relatively cool.(also see a question and answer below).

The cold rating is for a plant that is sitting in still, pooled cold air. Planting your Rhodies in areas next to the house or where cold and warm air mixes, gives you the ability to push the cold hardiness ratings to the edge.

Container Size and Age: The more maturity your plant has going into the ground, the better chance it will have towards surviving once planted. We encourage you to ask question before and after you purchase from us. All that we do is rhododendrons and we look forward to having you as a customer for years to come!
