Rhododendron 'Rocket'

Rhododendron ‘Rocket’ is a bushy, upright evergreen shrub with clusters of deep pink flowers in May to June. The vibrant colour makes it a standout feature in beds and borders, but if you look closely you will see the petals feature frilly edges and delicate brown speckles.

The dark green leaves are a feature year round on this shrub, which will grow to 2.5 metres in 20 years. Rhododendron ‘Rocket’ prefers semi-shaded sites with moist but well drained, acidic soil.
