FEATURES:
- Soft pink bloom trusses that light up woodland edges in late spring to early summer
- Large, leathery evergreen leaves for a lush, oversized texture year-round
- Native, landscape-making presence that feels natural, substantial, and long-lived
- Excellent screening shrub for privacy and a deep green backdrop in shade
- Thrives in woodland conditions with consistent moisture and acidic soil
- Beautiful in mass plantings to create a “garden room” feel under tall trees
- Hand Selected; Fresh from the Grower
- Ships on our trucks because the size of the tree - does not fit in a box.
Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip:
Big leaves do a lot of visual work, so you don’t need many “extras.” Pair this with fine textures (ferns, sedges, woodland grasses) and a few white blooms nearby to brighten the shade. The contrast makes the foliage feel even richer, and the whole space looks layered, calm, and intentionally wild.

Why plant Pink Rosebay Rhododendron?
Pink Rosebay Rhododendron is the kind of plant that transforms a space from “yard” into “woodland retreat.” It’s a native rhododendron with big, bold evergreen leaves that create instant lushness, the sort of foliage that looks like it belongs in a storybook forest. Then, in late spring to early summer, it blooms in soft pink trusses, adding a gentle wash of color that feels romantic and natural rather than overly polished.
This is a perfect choice when you want screening in shade, evergreen structure that’s substantial, and a plant that looks at home beneath taller trees. It’s a true landscape builder, great for creating privacy, soft boundaries, and that layered, calm, woodland feel.
How to use Pink Rosebay Rhododendron in the landscape?
Use it to form an evergreen screen along property edges, behind patios, or wherever you want privacy in part shade without building a hard barrier. It’s especially beautiful in woodland borders, planted in groups so the large evergreen leaves create a deep green backdrop for ferns, hostas, and shade perennials. Place it along the edge of a tree line to soften transitions between lawn and woods, or use it to enclose an outdoor seating area so it feels like a tucked-away garden room. Give it room to mature, and keep the planting underneath simple so the bold leaf texture remains a defining feature.
Frequently Asked Questions
The blooms are soft pink, forming rounded trusses in late spring to early summer.
It performs best in part shade to shade, especially with protection from harsh afternoon sun. In cooler climates, it can tolerate more sun if the soil stays evenly moist, but dappled light is typically ideal.
Deadheading spent trusses is optional but helps keep the shrub tidy. If pruning is needed, do it lightly right after flowering. Avoid heavy pruning later in the season, since next year’s buds form on new growth.
