DESCRIPTION
Rhododendron ‘PJM Elite’ is a compact evergreen shrub with a rounded habit and small, glossy dark green leaves. In early to mid spring it carries rounded clusters of trumpet-shaped flowers in lavender-pink to rosy purple tones. The blooms show well against the foliage, and the leaves later develop reddish purple hues in fall and winter, adding color beyond the flowering season.

Bred at Weston Nurseries in Massachusetts as a selection within the PJM rhododendron group, ‘PJM Elite’ was introduced in the 1980s and is valued for cold hardiness and dependable performance. Its dense branching, abundant spring flowers, and cool-season foliage color suit planting as a low hedge, in groups, or as an accent shrub in partially shaded gardens.
