Huge Lavender Blooms Delight Each Spring

Why Lavender Rhododendrons?

Rhododendrons are famous for their huge clusters of vibrant lavender flower clusters (8 to 10 flowers each), but most people don't know how easy they are to grow. In fact, the Lavender is drought tolerant, highly adaptable and versatile...meaning it grows almost anywhere, despite its elegant, lush appearance.

In fact, the National Arbor Day Foundation calls it one of America's most beautiful plants. Your new Rhododendrons will complement any landscape design with its explosion of purple flowers against a backdrop of glossy, leather-like foliage.

Its round growth habit makes it ideal to plant in groupings with the promise of stunning color in the spring months. When it comes to the Lavender Rhododendron, there's nothing you can't do.

So far, so great!

I'm so thrilled with my lavender rhododendron! She practically bloomed right out of the box. I opted for the 3 gallon size. I'm so happy I did. The shipping packaging was outstanding. Online instructions for planting were easy to follow. I will definitely order again.

Time will show.

Lavender Rhododendron arrived healthy with buds ready to bloom. It lost few branches om the road but overall was looking good. I planted it same day. So far shrub is alive (3 weeks later) but not blooming yet.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Yulia, we’re sorry your Lavender Rhododendron lost a few branches in transit. We’ll be sure to share this feedback with the carrier. Anyhow, we're glad it arrived healthy overall. New shrubs often focus on root recovery first, so blooming can take a little longer after shipping and planting. Please reach out anytime if you need help.

Okay

The shrub hasn’t opened any bulbs yet.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Terry! Thank you for sharing this. Rhododendrons often need a little time to settle in before opening their buds. Regular deep watering when the top soil feels dry can help during establishment. Let us know anytime if we can help.

Rhododendron

It came with some spots and cuts/holes in the leaves, it seems to be doing ok. I have not planted it yet. Taking care of it outside and in the garage until the last frost, which should be around May 15th.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Lisa, We apologize for the leaf condition on arrival. Even with careful inspection, sometimes Mother Nature throws a curveball. Minor spots or holes are often cosmetic, especially if the plant is otherwise healthy. Keeping it protected until planting and trimming heavily affected leaves can help. Give us a shout for further help.
