Rhododendron PJM

PJM Rhododendron

PJM rhododendrons (Rhododendron PJM Group) are cold-hardy evergreen hybrids with clusters of lavender, pink, or rose flowers. Small, leathery green leaves often take on purple tones during winter.

The group includes several selections, so final size and flowering details vary. Its generally compact, broad framework suits mixed borders and sheltered woodland-edge plantings where spring color and winter foliage are both useful.

Grow in partial shade with acidic, humus-rich, moist, well-drained soil. Shelter from strong winds and avoid overwatering or excessive fertilizer.
