JEAN MARIE DE MONTAGUE RHODODENDRON 2gal

If you are looking for the most vibrant, "stop-traffic" red in the gardening world, the Jean Marie de Montague Rhododendron is the absolute king of the spring show. This reliable evergreen matures into a lush, rounded mound reaching about 5 feet tall and wide, making it a perfect mid-sized anchor for your foundation or a stunning woodland border. While it appreciates a break from our intense afternoon heat, it is surprisingly sun-tolerant for a large-leaf variety and performs beautifully with morning sun and dappled shade. In mid-spring, you will be rewarded with massive, heavy clusters of bright, true-red flowers that stand out brilliantly against its deep forest-green, leathery leaves. Because those leaves are thick, tough, and contain natural deterrents, they are remarkably resistant to deer and rabbits, who generally prefer much softer snacks. It is a cold-hardy, sophisticated survivor that brings a sense of high-end mountain luxury to any backyard.
