Rhododendron 'Anah Kruschke'
- This robust Rhododendron 'Anah Kruschke' produces spectacular, dense clusters of lavender-purple blooms with delicate reddish-brown freckles.
- The glossy, dark green evergreen foliage provides a lush, structural backdrop in the garden throughout the entire year.
- Known for its exceptional sun and heat tolerance, this variety is far more resilient than most other purple rhododendrons.
- With a neat, bushy growth habit, it is the perfect choice for creating a vibrant, low-maintenance flowering hedge or focal point.
- Thriving in acidic soil, it will reliably transform a dappled woodland corner into a sea of royal purple every late spring.

Over 99% of our plants are grown in the UK, but where that’s not possible, Mike sources the best specialist growers in Europe for the job. Think citrus warmed by Sicilian sun, topiary trained by Dutch masters, almonds nourished in the Dordogne and bamboo bathed in Tuscan heat. Our handpicked growers nurture these plants to maturity before handing over to our team in the Cotswolds, to toughen them up for UK gardens.
