By mid-May, Holden's Fuchsia Rhododendron is covered in showy blooms. Pink trumpet-shaped flowers have ruffled edges and subtle yellow markings on the inside of the upper portion of the petal for added dimension. The flowers bloom in clusters, providing an even bigger visual impact. Dark green foliage has a leathery appearance and helps the bright pink flowers stand out. This shrub is a broadleaf evergreen, so the leaves provide color and texture during the winter.
The dense spreading growth habit and a mounded form give this shrub a full and lush appearance. Create a flowering hedge or foundation planting with this Rhododendron. At 4 to 5 feet tall, this shrub can define a border along a deck or outdoor area without overwhelming the space. Add height and springtime color to a mixed bed. Hummingbirds and butterflies frequent the showy flowers. Grow Holden's Fuchsia Rhododendron in zones 5 through 8.
Holden's Fuchsia Rhododendron Care
Plant this Rhododendron in full shade. It prefers fertile, acidic soil that is moist and well drained. Water consistently for the first growing season. Established plants are drought tolerant but need water during a dry period, especially when the buds are forming in later summer. Fertilize Rhododendrons in late winter or early spring. Use a product intended for acid-loving evergreen shrubs.
Rhododendrons set flower buds early, so the ideal time to prune is after the flowers fade but before new buds appear. Remove dead or damaged growth at any time.
Holden's Fuchsia Rhododendron Spacing
Holden's Fuchsia Rhododendron stands 4 to 5 feet tall and spreads 6 to 8 feet wide. Space shrubs 6 feet apart when creating a hedge.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
