Robust, Spring-Blooming Rhododendron

The PJM Elite Rhododendron’s large clusters of trumpet-shaped blooms are the perfect way to welcome the growing season! Enjoy a bounty of vibrant, frilly, purple-pink flowers that sit atop glossy, aromatic leaves. The rich, dark green foliage turns to a deep reddish-purple hue during the fall and winter, providing months of visual interest. 

The PJM Elite Rhododendron is an excellent flowering shrub for cooler climates. This hybrid variety is popular for its hardiness, compact growth habit, and versatility. Easy to care for and maintain, it is highly attractive to a variety of pollinators. 

Ideal for use as a specimen or in mass plantings, this rhododendron fits in effortlessly no matter where it is added. Plant it in rows to create hedges, use for landscape borders and mixed beds, or opt for a decorative container on a patio or porch. The bright, showy PJM Elite is always impressive! Grow yours today!

The wait is the hardest!

I have dwarf azaleas that I have a hard time flowering. So I decided to try these rhododendrons. One is flowering real well. Beautiful leaves.
