Rhododendron Hybrid Nova Zembla 2 Litre Pot

Rhododendron Hybrid 'Nova Zembla' is a robust and eye-catching evergreen shrub, celebrated for its striking clusters of deep red flowers that bloom in late spring. With its vibrant blooms and hardy nature, 'Nova Zembla' is a popular choice for UK gardens, offering long-lasting beauty and structure. Its dark green, leathery foliage complements the vivid flowers, making it a dramatic focal point in borders, woodland gardens, or large containers.

Key Characteristics:

• Size: Reaches a height of around 1.5 to 2.5 metres (5-8 feet) and spreads to 1.5 to 2 metres, making it a substantial shrub suitable for larger spaces.
• Foliage: Evergreen with large, glossy, dark green leaves, providing year-round interest and acting as a perfect backdrop to the brilliant blooms.
• Flowers: Displays rich, deep red, funnel-shaped flowers with dark spotting in the throat. Blooms profusely in late spring, creating a spectacular floral display.
• Growth Habit: Compact and bushy, with an upright growth form that adds structure and fullness to any garden setting.

Growing Conditions:

• Soil: Prefers acidic, well-drained soils rich in organic material. Rhododendrons thrive in slightly moist, well-drained soil, making ericaceous compost a good choice for containers.
• Light: Grows best in partial shade, although it can tolerate some morning sun. Protection from intense afternoon sunlight helps prevent leaf scorch.
• Watering: Requires consistent moisture, especially during dry spells. Ensure the soil stays moist but not waterlogged.

Ideal Uses:

• Borders & Shrub Beds: ‘Nova Zembla’ is a perfect choice for adding bold color and texture to mixed borders or shrub beds, where its bright red flowers can stand out among other plants.
• Woodland Gardens: Thrives in partially shaded woodland settings, where it can blend seamlessly with other shade-loving plants.
• Containers: Ideal for large containers where its compact habit and vibrant blooms can be showcased on patios, terraces, or in areas with limited acidic soil.
• Hedging or Screening: Its dense foliage and upright growth make it suitable for informal hedging or creating natural screens in the garden.
