RHODODENDRON CAT NOVA ZEMBLA
Grower Notes:
Rhododendron catawbiense 'Nova Zembla' is commonly referred to as Nova Zembla Rhododendron. It is a Catawba hybrid, specially bred to withstand harsh climates. Nova Zembla features a compact, upright, broadleaf evergreen habit with showy, rounded trusses of bright red flowers in mid to late spring. Its darker red spots may fade to deep pink in bright sun, providing more color depth. Its leaves are thick, elliptical and dark green.
Nova Zembla Rhododendron is quite cold resistant and heat tolerant and thrives in partial shade in moist, acidic, humusy, well-drained soils. Morning sun with afternoon shade is ideal. It is perfect for borders, hedges or foundation plantings. Any pruning should be done right after flowering.
