RAMAPO RHODENDRON 2gal

If you are looking for a compact, iron-clad evergreen that brings a touch of the high mountains to your garden, Ramapo Rhododendron is the absolute gem you have been searching for. This dwarf beauty stays naturally small, reaching a tidy 2 to 3 feet tall and wide, which makes it an ideal choice for rock gardens, sunny borders, or even decorative patio containers. While many of its cousins shy away from the light, Ramapo is famously sun-tolerant and actually develops its best dusty, blue-green foliage when planted in a spot that receives plenty of morning sun. In mid-spring, the entire mound is completely smothered in clusters of brilliant violet-purple flowers that provide a stunning contrast to its small, leathery leaves. Because those leaves are thick and aromatic, they are remarkably resistant to deer and rabbits, who generally find them far too tough for a snack. It is a slow-growing, cold-hardy survivor that offers massive color without taking over your yard.
