Description
Rhododendron ‘Nova Zembla’ is a broadleaf evergreen flowering shrub prized for its large, vivid red spring blooms and dense, glossy foliage. This hardy hybrid is one of the most reliable red rhododendrons for colder climates and provides strong year-round structure in the landscape.
In mid to late spring, the plant produces large trusses of deep red flowers with darker spotting, creating a bold focal point in shaded beds and woodland plantings. The leathery, dark green evergreen leaves maintain their color through winter, making this shrub valuable even when not in bloom.
‘Nova Zembla’ works well in foundation plantings, mixed borders, woodland gardens, and mass plantings, where its form and color stand out.
