The Blush Rhododendron produces clusters of light-pink flowers and has small, bright green foliage. It grows in a dwarf, compact, and mounded habit, making it an excellent alternative to boxwood. Blooms in spring.

Rhododendrons require constant moisture (but not standing water), a fertile soil with a low pH and grow best in partial shade. Any pruning should be done soon after flowering to ensure bud set. Plants can benefit from protection (burlap wrap) against drying winter winds and sun in an exposed location.
