## Description

RHODODENDRON `MARDI GRAS` Even without flowers you'd be intrigued by this selection with its distinctly dense, spreading form and its superb foliage, deep green and lustrous backed by reddish-brown indumentum. Add in impressively sized flower trusses with pale, purplish-pink flowers with a darker edge and you have a rhododendron package that will stand out anywhere. Since it is so dense and compact, it's perfect for a smaller space and even a foundation area with a partially shaded exposure.

Review: Beautiful Rhododendrons from Green Promise Farms - I ordered six “Scintillation” rhododendrons, size 3 containers, on Monday afternoon. They were delivered Thursday midday. The packaging was superb. They arrived in perfect condition — every branch, leaf and bud was intact — and to my amazement, they were in glorious full bloom. My, oh my, so beautiful! The plants themselves are obviously very healthy with deep green shiney leaves, no blemishes whatsoever. I had been a bit hesitant to order nursery plants through desertcart, but this was order from Green Promise Farms was a five star success! I would not hesitant to order from them again.
Review: Jill Starr - Just received the Rhoadie i ordered - the Nova Zembla!! Im very excited as it looks to be in good health & is much larger than I expected. Stands in its pot 3 feet tall. Arrived very green and with a moist root ball. Very well packaged. I plan on planting it in an area that is total shade. The last one I bought from home depot was much smaller and died on me for some reason within a month of planting?!! Maybe I planted it to deep and with the wrong black cow soil?!?! This time I’ll use regular garden soil with fertilizer in it and not as deep! Fingers crossed this one takes & Lasts as I’m reading many reviews on here stating same thing _ plants start out well then die?!? I’m using this plant as a hedge eventually that will hide my trash receptacles!?!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top quality for an unbelievable price that includes shipping
*by S***Y on April 14, 2023*

I have over 50 rhododendrons I ordered and planted on my property over the last few years. I am adding another 40 this year. I can tell you that for current internet sourcing this is the best quality and price, including shipping. If you are interested in the varieties offered by Green Promise Farm don't hesitate. I have received both #3 (Nova Zembla & Independence) and #2 pots (Scintillation & Album). All are stout, well branched, and healthy. The #3 Nova Zembla was significantly larger than the #2, the #3 Independence had multiple (up to 6 base breaks which is like getting 6 plants in one pot). I am very pleased by the consistent quality 3 years running. I am also pleased that I can order the plants in late March or early April for Zone 5 and receive them right away, still dormant such that they can acclimate with out frost damage. All of the Rhodies I have sourced from the West Coast zone 8 have come in May, 4 weeks ahead of where my plants should be and all have endured frost damage. Also the sweet aroma of the buds and flowers attracts hungry wild life where a plant in sync with zone 5 will not. Truly I would only source out of Green Promise if I could get all the varieties I want. Finally if you are creating a privacy hedge or doing a larger landscape project you can get 20 or more of the same variety and the same quality / size plant. - Scott's Wife Autumn
