Holden's Red Rhododendron 1 Live Evergreen Shrub, 3 Gallon Pot, 15 Inches – Rhododendron Holden's™ Red

Holden's Red Rhododendron (Rhododendron, Holden's™ Red) is a broadleaf evergreen flowering shrub valued for its dense clusters of red blossoms, glossy green foliage, and gracefully branching growth habit. Its rich flower color provides a striking spring display, while its evergreen leaves contribute attractive texture and structure throughout the year. This ornamental rhododendron is suitable for woodland gardens, partially shaded borders, foundation plantings, and mixed evergreen landscapes.

During spring, Holden's Red Rhododendron produces dense clusters of red flowers along its graceful branches. The blossoms stand out against glossy green leaves that have a naturally drooping or gently downward-curving appearance. This combination of vivid flowers and evergreen foliage makes the shrub an appealing focal point in sheltered garden beds, mixed shrub borders, and ornamental group plantings.

Holden's Red Rhododendron prefers partial shade and acidic, organically rich, well-drained soil. Morning sunlight with afternoon shade is generally suitable, especially in warmer regions. Consistent soil moisture supports healthy growth, while prolonged waterlogging should be avoided. Its evergreen foliage and spring flowers also make it suitable for appropriately sized outdoor containers with acidic growing media.

Each order includes 1 live Holden's Red Rhododendron supplied in a 3-gallon nursery pot (G3).

Approx. 15 inches tall at time of shipping.
