Rhododendron is a low-maintenance perennial shrub growing massive at 7-8 feet tall and wide. Its resistance to cold winters makes it a perfect addition in colder climates. Winter Hardy in USDA zones 4-8. Use as a focal point in your garden space, or plant multiples for a privacy row.
Roseum Elegans Rhododendron Care
Plant in full sun to part shade in moist, well-drained soil. Water the azalea regularly, but allow the soil to completely dry out between watering. Prefers acidic soil for best results. Fertilize with rhododendron fertilizer to maintain healthy plants and to improve the soil’s acidity if needed.
Does not require any deadheading. Mulch to help with winter cold protection and to retain more moisture in the ground.
Roseum Elegans Rhododendron Spacing
This plant requires room to grow to its maximum 7-8 feet height and width. Can be trimmed to maintain a smaller shape. We recommend planting at least 6 feet apart, center on center to form a hedge, and give the plants even more space for better air circulation.

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.
