Rhododendron ‘Roblez’ PP28279


Experience vibrant color twice yearly with this evergreen Encore Azalea, prized for its striking crimson semi-double blooms that flourish in spring and return with renewed vigor come autumn. The dense, mounding form reaches approximately 2.5 feet, making it an excellent choice for foundation plantings, border fronts, and beneath windows. Dark, lustrous foliage persists throughout the year, providing structural appeal during dormant seasons. Remarkably adaptable, this hardy cultivar thrives in full sun with standard soil conditions, requiring minimal specialized care. Its compact stature and reliable performance make it a dependable selection for gardeners seeking sustained seasonal interest and low-maintenance landscape solutions.

Be sure to use a well drained soil medium when planting any Azalea, Rhododendron, Mountain Laurel, or Camellia as they all prefer fall planting with less watering than you might think. In NC our soil is clay so we prefer to use pine bark soil conditioner when planting these varieties.
