The Roseum Elegans rhododendron is a hardy, reliable hybrid known for its large lilac-pink flowers with a yellow-brown blotch, blooming in late spring. It has evergreen, dark green, leathery leaves and typically grows 6 to 8 feet tall and wide with a dense, rounded shape. It thrives in partial shade, well-drained acidic soil, and requires regular watering. Hardy in USDA zones 4 to 8, it needs minimal pruning and benefits from mulching and spring fertilization. Ideal for hedges, foundation plantings, specimen displays, and mixed borders, it adds year-round interest and vibrant color to gardens.
