Purple Gem Rhododendron (Rhododendron 'Purple Gem') is a compact flowering shrub prized for its deep purple flowers arriving in mid-spring. Its small size, olive green foliage with rippled edges, and contrasting violet blooms make this an excellent plant for any garden or patio.

Purple Gem Rhododendron is a hardy evergreen shrub that grows at a slow rate but can live up to 40 years. These hardy shrubs are extremely versatile and do well in a variety of environments, but specifically, they thrive in colder regions.

The Purple Gems prefer rich, acidic, well-drained soil and require full to partial sun. In fall, the olive green leaves transition to a beautiful bronze and green tone, giving the Purple Gem year-round interest. As a dwarf evergreen shrub, they stay relatively small, growing up to 3 feet tall and wide.

When you buy Purple Gem Rhododendron online, you can use them as border plantings, landscape accents, or in containers on patios.
