Rhododendron x 'Nova Zembla' (H-1)

 

Nova Zemble Rhododendron is a dense-growing, small evergreen shrub valued for its large trusses of showy red flowers. Thrives in cooler regions but some protection from winter wind is helpful. Very effective in foundation plantings or as an accent. May be planted as a single accent or grouped in islands around the edges of sparsely canopied trees. Ideal for separating driveways or front yards. Plant where it gets enough sun to backlight the flowers, which will make the gorgeous color 'pop'.

 

Be sure to use a well drained soil medium when planting Rhododendron as they prefer less watering than you might think. In clay soil we prefer planting with pine bark soil conditioner for Camellia, Rhododendron, Mountain Laurel, Azalea.
