Captivating large purple blooms with burgundy blotches adorn this stately variety in mid spring; an accent or border shrub that will definitely stand out; absolutely must have well-drained, highly acidic and organic soil

Purpureum Elegans Rhododendron is covered in stunning clusters of lightly-scented purple trumpet-shaped flowers with a burgundy blotch at the ends of the branches in mid spring. It has dark green evergreen foliage. The glossy narrow leaves remain dark green throughout the winter.
Purpureum Elegans Rhododendron is an open multi-stemmed evergreen shrub with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its relatively coarse texture can be used to stand it apart from other landscape plants with finer foliage.
This is a relatively low maintenance shrub, and should only be pruned after flowering to avoid removing any of the current season’s flowers.
