Astonishing Color Transformation!
Deep red buds open to reveal clusters of ruffled soft pink flowers with deeper pink undersides. Aging to white, a tri-color effect artfully mingles on the same shrub to add to its artistic palette. Rugged evergreen leather-like foliage takes the stage when it is not in bloom. Rhododendron Dandy Man Color Wheel is irresistible to pollinators and this handsome easy-care variety offers big impact. Outstanding heat tolerance and disease resistance. Blooms on old wood - give this handsome shrub plenty of room so minimal pruning will be required. Proven Winners® selections are trialed and tested to be colorful, long blooming, carefree and easy to grow.

Rhododendron General Information

Rhododendron are noted for gorgeous and abundant spring blooms. Cut stems as they reach peak bloom for stunning floral arrangements. Idaho has restricted all potted plant material from being shipped into Idaho at this time.

Rhododendron Plant Care

Happiest in a protected area away from strong winter winds and in well-drained, acidic soil. Fertilize in spring with a granular slow-release product for acid-loving plants. Blooms on old wood, so trim branches or shape immediately after flowering so you do not remove the next season's flower buds. Annual pruning is not required.

Plantable Pots

Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!

100% Guarantee

We offer a 100% guarantee for all our perennials to reach you in good condition and to grow. If you're not satisfied, we'll reship or refund immediately. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or concerns—we share your passion for gardening and want your new plants to thrive in your border!
