Bring a bold splash of color to your garden with the Nova Zembla Rhododendron, a striking evergreen shrub known for its brilliant red blooms and lush, deep-green foliage. This hardy rhododendron is a top choice for gardeners who want a showy, low-maintenance plant that thrives in a variety of climates.
Why You’ll Love the Nova Zembla Rhododendron
- Eye-Catching Flowers: Large, vivid red blooms with dark speckling appear in late spring to early summer, creating a stunning contrast against the rich green leaves.
- Evergreen Beauty: Provides year-round interest, keeping your landscape vibrant even in winter.
- Cold Hardy: Unlike many rhododendrons, ‘Nova Zembla’ tolerates colder temperatures and even withstands harsh winters.
- Pollinator-Friendly: Attracts butterflies and hummingbirds, making it a great addition to a pollinator garden.

Ideal Growing Conditions
- Sunlight: Prefers partial shade to filtered sunlight, though it can tolerate more sun in cooler climates.
- Soil: Requires acidic, well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Avoid heavy clay or alkaline soils.
- Watering: Needs consistent moisture, especially during dry spells, but does not tolerate standing water.
- Climate: Thrives in USDA Hardiness Zones 4-8, making it a great choice for cooler regions.
Perfect for Any Landscape
The Nova Zembla Rhododendron is versatile and fits beautifully into woodland gardens, foundation plantings, hedges, and mixed borders. Its bold red blooms make it an ideal focal point, and its evergreen foliage adds structure and depth year-round.
