Rhododendron catawbiense 'Grandiflorum'
Rhododendron catawbiense 'Grandiflorum', also known as Catawba rhododendron 'Grandiflorum', is a large evergreen ornamental shrub renowned for its vigor and spectacular flowering. This classic variety forms a large, dense, rounded bush that adds structure and volume to shrub beds, woodland gardens, and shaded landscape designs. In spring, large spherical inflorescences appear, covered with numerous lavender to light purple flowers, often marked with small darker spots in the throat. This abundant bloom creates a very decorative effect and attracts pollinating insects. Its dark green, thick, and slightly glossy evergreen foliage remains attractive all year round and contributes to the garden's structure even in winter. Very hardy and vigorous, this rhododendron prefers acidic soils, rich in organic matter, and well-drained.
