RAMAPO RHODODENDRON  Rhododendron ‘Ramapo’
• A compact, exceptionally cold‑hardy evergreen shrub valued for its dense, mounded form and tiny, aromatic, blue‑green leaves that hold beautifully through winter. One of the best small rhododendrons for harsh northern climates.
• Produces masses of lavender‑purple blooms in mid‑spring, creating a vivid display that nearly covers the shrub; flowers are highly attractive to early‑season pollinators.
• Maintains a tight, rounded habit with excellent year‑round structure; ideal for foundation plantings, rock gardens, small urban yards, and sheltered courtyard spaces.
• Prefers acidic, well‑drained soils rich in organic matter; benefits from protection from winter winds and afternoon heat. Performs best with consistent moisture but dislikes waterlogged sites.
• Part Shade (morning sun, afternoon shade ideal)
• Zone 4, 0.6–0.9 m Height × 0.9–1.2 m Width
