Rhododendron Henrietta Sargent
Common Name: Henrietta Sargent Rhododendron
Henrietta Sargent (Rhododendron ‘Henrietta Sargent’) is an evergreen rhododendron with pink flowers. Its display arrives in the later part of the rhododendron flowering season, with the exact timing influenced by local weather. The flower tubes widen into flared faces that display the color clearly.
Its foliage is retained through winter, keeping a leafy framework between flowering seasons. It can provide a flowering focal point within a mixed shrub border or woodland-edge planting.
Give it acidic, humus-rich soil that stays moist and drains freely. A sheltered position with filtered light or morning sun is a useful starting point; protect the roots from prolonged drying and keep mulch clear of the stems.
