Product information
Are you seeking a reliable evergreen shrub that offers a spectacular floral display early in the year? Look no further than the Rhododendron ‘Cosmopolitan’, a plant celebrated for its profuse trusses of large pale pink flowers with red speckles appearing throughout April and May.
This is a compact, dense, bushy, and spreading evergreen shrub whose glossy green foliage provides consistent year-round structure and interest for your garden design. While it rarely produces fruit of note in UK gardens, its strong seasonal flower show makes it a popular choice for adding dependable color.
For the best results in your UK garden, position this rhododendron where it receives partial shade and is sheltered from harsh winds, ensuring it is planted in moist, well-drained, acidic soil that is rich in organic matter; this plant is ideal for hedging or creating a dramatic feature in shrub borders.
