The blooms are a deep, saturated scarlet-red, delivered in large trusses that cover the plant so thoroughly in spring that the dark green foliage nearly disappears beneath them. The color is bold and unambiguous, the kind of red that anchors a garden bed or makes a statement when viewed from across the yard. It is a compact to medium-sized rhododendron, well-suited to the scale of most residential gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant 'Blitz' in a site with morning sun and afternoon shade, or in bright filtered light throughout the day.
