Rhododendron 'Herbert' is a striking evergreen or semi-evergreen shrub known for its vibrant purple to fuchsia blooms with a distinctive red blotch. This plant is cold hardy and thrives in USDA zones 5 to 9, making it suitable for a variety of climates. It attracts butterflies and hummingbirds, adding life to any garden. The shrub prefers partial shade and well-drained, acidic soil, and it blooms in early spring with unique hose-in-hose double layer flowers.
