Introduce the PJM Rhododendron to your garden, a robust and beautiful evergreen shrub that is a must-have for USDA Zones 7 and 8. This variety is a true standout, known for its exceptional cold hardiness and a spectacular display of lavender-pink flowers that herald the arrival of spring. The PJM Rhododendron has a compact, rounded form, typically growing to a manageable 4 to 6 feet tall and wide. Its small, dark green leaves have a wonderful spicy fragrance when crushed and change to a rich, mahogany-purple color in the fall and winter, providing year-round interest. This rhododendron is more sun-tolerant than most, but it still performs best in a location with afternoon shade to protect its vibrant blooms.

One of the best qualities of the PJM Rhododendron is its natural resistance to deer, which makes it an excellent, low-maintenance choice for any landscape. When planting, dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and blend your native soil with Watters Premium Mulch to create the acidic, well-draining environment this plant loves. After planting, apply Watters 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food to provide the gentle, steady nutrients needed for strong growth and a profusion of beautiful flowers.
