Common Name: PJM Rhododendron (Rhododendron ‘PJM’)

The PJM Rhododendron is a compact, evergreen shrub characterized by its dense, dark green leaves and vibrant clusters of pink to purple flowers that appear in early spring. Typically reaching heights of 2 to 3 feet and spreading equally wide, it is well-suited for use in foundation plantings, borders, or as a low hedge. This variety is appreciated for its exceptional cold hardiness, thriving in USDA hardiness zones 5 through 8. The PJM Rhododendron prefers well-drained, acidic soil and performs best in partial to full shade environments. Additionally, it exhibits good resistance to common rhododendron pests and diseases, making it a reliable choice for various landscaping projects.
