Rhododendron 'PJM Compacta'

P.J.M. Compacta Rhododendron

PJM Compacta is a compact evergreen rhododendron with small, thick leaves and lavender-pink flowers in early spring. The foliage can have a light aroma on warm days.

Give it acidic, organic soil that stays cool and moist while draining freely. It grows in sun or partial shade. Allow room for its crown to become broader than its height.
