Family Ericaceae

Rhododendron 'Bubblegum' is a dense, rounded variety that attracts attention with its abundant, vibrant blooms in shades of bright pink, reminiscent of candy. Its flowers appear in generous clusters in late spring, forming a cloud of color above its glossy, dark green foliage. Very hardy, it maintains a naturally compact shape without pruning and adapts well to beds in shade or partial shade in acidic soil. Thanks to its bright blooms, balanced silhouette, and easy maintenance, 'Bubblegum' is an ideal choice for creating a colorful focal point in a woodland garden, a flower border, or a low decorative hedge.
