Description

As a hardy member of the rhododendron family, the evergreen Bloombux has been specially cultivated to not just fulfill but surpass the Boxwood, both as a container plant of choice, and landscape gardening requirements. Blooming from May to June with beautiful pink or magenta flower balls, winter-hardy Bloombux will thrive in moist, humus-rich soil and will survive temperatures as low as -24°C. Creative IKARHO plant breeding has cultivated Bloombox as a Boxwood alternative which is tolerant to lime and can therefore thrive on almost any well-drained garden soil. Another advantage over Boxwood is that Bloombux will spring into glorious life during its peak season, with flowers that reach up to 8cm in diameter. The evergreen foliage is also a welcome splash of emerald green during winter and is comfortable in both full sun and partial shade. With its dense and compact growth, this is also a bush that you can trim to your heart’s content.
