Rhododendron 'Excelsior' (Pot Size 3L) sold by Boma Garden Centre

Rhododendron ‘Excelsior’ is an elegant evergreen shrub prized in UK gardens for its generous clusters of ruffled, blush-to-rose pink flowers in late spring. The blooms open from deeper buds and give a soft, romantic colour contrast against rich green foliage, creating a standout display in mixed borders, woodland gardens or alongside patios. This variety performs well as a specimen plant or in a group planting, and its compact, upright habit brings year-round presence without dominating small spaces  .Pair it with other acid-loving plants such as camellias, pieris, and heathers – cream or white-flowering companions accentuate the pink tones beautifully. Underplant with ferns or hostas to add texture and lush understorey interest. Planted near seating areas or walkways, ‘Excelsior’ offers seasonal flair that lifts garden design from spring into early summer
