Minnetonka Rhododendron

Rhododendron hybrid 'Minnetonka'

Rhododendrons grow best in cooler areas where they are not exposed to hot afternoon summer sun. They like slightly moist, acidic soil.

Apart from its stunning purple flowers, the Minnetonka also has deep glossy leaves that are specular throughout the winter months. Low maintenance, the Minnetonka has a compact shape, 3-6 feet tall and wide, that works well in a manicured garden. Clusters of vibrant color, these blooms emerge from a dark center and will surely attract bees, butterflies and birds.  It is cold hardy to -10° F.
