You get strong, year-round structure and a big spring show with Rhododendron 'Holden's™ Pink Flare' (also listed as Rhododendron 'Holden's™ Pink Flare'). This broadleaf evergreen forms a dense, rounded to gently spreading shrub with dark, glossy leaves that look great even when the plant is not in flower.

In mid to late spring, showy trusses of bright pink, funnel-shaped blooms open above the foliage, adding a bold pop of color to foundation beds, woodland edges, and mixed shrub borders. Mature size is typically about 48-60 inches tall with a spread that can reach roughly 48-72 inches, so give it room to fill in naturally and show off its form.

For best performance, plant in humus-rich, well-drained soil that stays evenly moist but never soggy. Like most rhododendrons, it appreciates acidic conditions and a mulch layer to keep roots cool. Morning sun with afternoon shade is ideal, but it can tolerate a range from sun to shade when protected from harsh wind and late-day heat. Prune only as needed right after flowering, and remove spent blooms to keep the plant tidy and encourage strong bud set for next year.
