{"product_id":"dandy-man-purple-rhododendron","title":"Dandy Man® Purple (Rhododendron x)","description":"\u003cp\u003eEvery garden deserves a plant that anchors it—a presence both dependable and striking. Dandy Man® Purple rhododendron offers exactly that. With its dense branching and impressive mature size, it commands attention as a true foundation plant. The evergreen foliage is dark, glossy, and refined, providing year-round structure and beauty even when nothing else is in bloom. Then, as spring awakens, this stately shrub transforms. Fluffy clusters of electric pale lavender flowers appear, each bloom frilled and luminous, like festive garlands draped across the plant. Their playful, irregular grouping gives a natural, carefree elegance that softens formal landscapes while harmonizing effortlessly with woodland settings. More than just a seasonal highlight, Dandy Man Purple is a garden cornerstone—bringing permanence, color, and character to spaces with cool soil and good drainage. Plant it once, and you’ll enjoy its balance of strength and grace for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e4-8 feet tall and wide at maturity\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eHardy in zones 4-8, be sure to check your USDA zone to ensure success\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePlant in part to full sun (4+ hours daily)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eSpace plants 4-8 feet apart for best results\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eProduces rich purple flowers during spring\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eMaintains dark green foliage year-round\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eBlooms on old wood\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eGreat for borders, containers, hedges, foundation plantings, screening, focal points, woodland gardens, landscapes\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eAttracts bees, birds and resists disease\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eFoliage interest, fall interest, winter interest, low maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fertilize with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/provenwinnersdirect.com\/products\/zzftmr101zf01\"\u003eProven Winners Continuous Release Plant Food\u003c\/a\u003e in spring.  May be pruned selectively as desired but avoid any kind of regular pruning or cutting back.
