Rhododendron Bloombux

Rhododendron ‘Bloombux’ is a compact, evergreen rhododendron with small, box-like green foliage and dense clusters of soft pink flowers in late spring to early summer. Grow in moist but well-drained, humus-rich, acidic (ericaceous) soil in partial shade; ideal for low hedging, borders and containers in Irish gardens. Minimal pruning is needed; lightly trim or deadhead after flowering to keep a neat shape. Fully hardy. Note: all parts are harmful if eaten.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
