Rhododendron 'Bloombux Blush' is a dwarf hybrid with a very compact and rounded habit, which combines the generous flowering of a classic rhododendron with the dense and structured appearance of a boxwood. Its small pale pink flowers with darker centers appear in early summer, forming delicate clusters contrasting with glossy green evergreen foliage. Very easy to prune, hardy and tolerant of light limestone, 'Bloombux Blush' is a perfect solution for low hedges, modern borders or flowering pots in a revisited formal style.
