OLGA MEZITT PJM RHODODENDRON
Rhododendron 'Olga Mezitt' is commonly referred to as Olga Mezitt Rhododendron. It is a upright, broadleaf evergreen shrub that features clusters of clear pink flowers in late spring. Glossy, narrow, green leaves turn a showy bronze-red in winter. PJM hybrids are one of the hardiest Rhododendrons, thriving in climates such as the Upper Midwest and New England areas. Olga Mezitt is more heat and sun tolerant than most other varieties. It thrives in full sun or light shade in rich, fertile, highly acidic, evenly moist, well-drained soils. It is ideal as an accent plant, in foundation or mass plantings.
