Ornamental Features
Purple Passion Rhododendron is covered in stunning clusters of lightly-scented purple trumpet-shaped flowers with dark red spots at the ends of the branches in mid spring. It has burgundy-spotted dark green foliage which emerges green in spring. The glossy narrow leaves turn an outstanding coppery-bronze in the fall. The fruit is not ornamentally significant.
Landscape Attributes
Purple Passion Rhododendron is an open multi-stemmed evergreen shrub with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its relatively coarse texture can be used to stand it apart from other landscape plants with finer foliage.
This is a relatively low maintenance shrub, and should only be pruned after flowering to avoid removing any of the current season’s flowers. It has no significant negative characteristics.
