Everred Rhododendron

The Everred Rhododendron is an amazing new variety of rhododendron, that opens up a whole new use for these beautiful plants. For the first time, this is a plant with brightly colored foliage all year round, so even when the plant is not flowering it brings color and interest to your garden. The leaves are a beautiful glowing red-violet color, which, combined with the foliage being evergreen, makes a powerful statement in your garden every day of the year, instead of just when flowers are present. It forms an attractive mound of foliage that will be 3 to 4 feet tall and the same size across. When it flowers in spring, the remarkable bell-shaped bright red flowers make this plant the center-piece of your garden. It grows well in sun or shade and it is hardy down to zero degrees, so it can be grown across a wide area of the country.

• Fabulous red-violet foliage color
• Perfect size for the smaller garden
• Dramatic red bell-shaped flowers in May
• Ideal way to bring year-round color to the garden
• Grows well in partially shaded areas

Plant your Everred Rhododendron in acidic soil in a spot shaded from the hot afternoon sun. It makes a great companion to azaleas, rhododendrons, camellias and Japanese maples in a woodland garden. Water weekly, or even more often during the first year if the weather is dry. Established plants have limited drought tolerance, but the little bit of care needed will be greatly rewarded by the year round beauty of this wonderful new plant.
