Catawba Boursault Rhododendron Live Starter Plant – 7L Pot – Rhododendron catawbiense 'Boursault'

Catawba Boursault Rhododendron is a classic evergreen flowering shrub valued for its abundant spring blooms and attractive year-round foliage. In mid to late spring, violet flower buds open into large clusters of lavender-pink flowers accented with subtle green, yellow-brown, or reddish throat markings, creating a colorful display in shaded garden settings.

This dense, upright rhododendron develops glossy evergreen foliage that provides structure and visual interest throughout the year. It is well suited for woodland gardens, foundation plantings, mixed shrub borders, privacy screens, and naturalized landscapes. The flowers attract pollinators such as butterflies, while the dense branching can provide cover and nesting habitat for birds.
