Notes
'Blush' rhododendron (Rhododendron 'Blush') is an evergreen shrub for borders, low hedges, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun. Clusters of small, trumpet-shaped, blush-pink flowers stand out against dense, glossy green leaves. Hummingbirds and bees visit the blooms. It grows slowly and takes pruning well after flowering, so it makes a good stand-in for boxwood hedging.
Pairs well with Shasta daisy, Fountain grass, and Ostrich fern.
