Boursault Catawba Rhododendron (Rhododendron catawbiense 'Boursault') is a magnificent large-scale native evergreen shrub that delivers one of the most breathtaking spring floral displays of any garden plant — a Georgia and Appalachian native that has graced American landscapes for generations. In mid spring, large clusters of violet buds open to lavender flowers with distinctive reddish speckles, nearly smothering the dense, dark green foliage in a spectacular show of color. The uniform, spreading branching habit and tidy evergreen foliage provide year-round structure and privacy in the landscape. A proven, cold-hardy performer from the Catawba Mountains, it thrives in part sun with rich, moist, acidic, well-drained soils. Hardy to Zone 4.
