BLOOMBUX® MAGENTA RHODODENDRON

Rhododendron Bloombux® Magenta is a remarkable evergreen shrub often celebrated as a superior alternative to traditional boxwood, offering the same dense, compact, and low-maintenance structure but with the added bonus of dramatic flowering. This unique hybrid maintains a tidy, mounding habit, reaching a mature size of about 2 to 3 feet in both height and width. Its deep green, glossy foliage provides excellent year-round interest and readily holds its shape, making it perfect for formal hedges, borders, foundation plantings, and container gardens. The most notable feature, however, is the profusion of vibrant, magenta-pink trumpet-shaped flowers that erupt in late spring to early summer, creating an eye-catching display that is also highly attractive to bees and butterflies. This blend of evergreen structure and vivid seasonal color makes Bloombux® Magenta a highly valued landscape plant.

Bloombux® Magenta is an INKARHO variety, meaning it can tolerate a wider range of soil pH, successfully growing in acidic up to neutral soil (up to approximately pH 7.5), unlike typical rhododendrons that strictly require high acidity. It performs best in full sun to partial shade, although afternoon shade is recommended in the hottest climates. The plant requires moist, well-drained soil. It will not tolerate standing water.
