Rhododendron 'Karl Naue Red' - Shrub - Height 70cm - Width 80-90cm - 15lt

Rhododendron 'Karl Naue Red' is a compact, evergreen shrub prized for its vibrant red blooms and tidy, manageable habit, making it a perfect choice for smaller gardens, borders, or mixed shrub plantings. It typically reaches 1–1.5 metres in height and spread, forming a dense, rounded plant that retains year-round structure and foliage interest.

In spring, ‘Karl Naue Red’ produces abundant clusters of bright scarlet-red flowers, each truss bold and striking against its deep green, glossy leaves. The flowers not only bring a dramatic splash of colour to the garden but also attract bees and other pollinators, enhancing biodiversity and garden activity during the flowering season.

This rhododendron prefers well-drained, acidic soil enriched with organic matter and performs best in partial shade or dappled sunlight. It benefits from a sheltered position, as protection from cold winds helps maintain its evergreen foliage and prolongs flowering quality.

‘Karl Naue Red’ is particularly suitable for woodland-style gardens, shrub borders, or as a standout specimen plant. Its compact size, reliable flowering, and vibrant colour make it a versatile and decorative addition to gardens seeking low-maintenance, long-lasting visual impact throughout the year.
