Description
Rhododendron Happydendron Pushy Purple is part of a new series of varieties with brightly coloured flowers, grafted like all INKARHO rhododendrons on a much more tolerant plant in relation to clayey, loamy or slightly alkaline soils. Superb in the garden or in a container, 'Pushy Purple' is an evergreen bush that stands out for its brilliantly tricoloured spring flowering, boldly combining lilac purple with white and yellow. An evergreen bush as tolerant as a hydrangea, decorative throughout the year, hardy and easy to grow.
Rhododendrons encompass more than 800 species of the heath family, cultivated for the beauty of their impressive flowering. The history of Inkarho Rhododendrons, slightly revolutionary plants recently presented at the Chelsea Flower Show, began in Germany over 20 years ago. The discovery of a rhododendron naturally growing in a chalk quarry led to the grafting of different varieties on its extraordinary root system. The bushes obtained by this method tolerate a wide range of soils with a pH ranging from 4.5 to 7.5, provided they are loose, fertile, moist and not excessively alkaline. In summary, any soil that is suitable for hydrangeas.
Launched in 2019 at the Chelsea Flower Show, 'Happydendron Pushy Purple' is a German creation that belongs to the category of large-flowered hybrids. It forms a medium to modest sized bush, with a rounded and branched habit, almost as wide as it is tall. Its growth is rather slow, generally reaching 1.35 to 1.45 m (4 to 5ft) in all directions at the age of 10. Its evergreen leaves in winter, a beautiful dark green colour, are elliptical in shape and cover the plant well. They have a velvety underside. From mid-May to early June, its abundant flowering submerges the bush: grouped in corymbs, superb deep purple-red buds open into very pale pink flowers adorned with a prominent yellow-green spot and bordered with deep mauve pink. The overall effect is violet-mauve, but in reality, each flower displays 3 separate and distinct colours. On each flower, the purple-red colour gradually turns into mauve purple, creating a beautiful multicoloured effect on the bush throughout the flowering period.
It is high time for Rhododendrons to break free from ericaceous soil: this is now possible with the new Inkarho varieties! The Rhododendron Inkarho Happydendron Pushy Purple is relatively tolerant in terms of exposure; we recommend planting it in non-burning sunlight or partial shade, if possible facing East where it will benefit from morning sun while being protected from excessive heat. In the garden or in a container, with its abundant and remarkably coloured flowering, it will easily enhance a shaded space. Much more tolerant than usual rhododendrons, it associates, in a more traditional way, with many other flowering shrubs, not necessarily in ericaceous soil: hydrangeas, mock oranges, Japanese quinces, butterfly bushes, abelias or autumn camellias. Japanese anemones will also make good companions, as well as foxgloves, in woodland areas.

Planting and care
Plant the Rhododendron Inkarho Happydendron Pushy Purple in partial shade, protected from cold and drying winds, in moist, loose, fertile soil. It will tolerate slightly alkaline soil (pH 7.5), neutral or acidic soil (pH 4.5 to 6.5), any soil that is suitable for a hydrangea. Dig a hole three times larger than the pot. Soak the root ball in water and plant the bush at the collar level, in a nourishing mixture composed of leaf compost, gravel or pumice, and loam or topsoil, as Inkarho Rhodos are hungry plants. Water thoroughly and keep the soil moist in summer. Azaleas and Rhododendrons have a relatively shallow root system. As a result, they are sensitive to prolonged periods of drought. That's why it is recommended to enrich the soil with humus and water abundantly during dry periods. Apply a layer of wood chips or mulch around the base of the bush every spring to maintain soil moisture while keeping the pH slightly acidic. Maintenance involves removing faded flowers after flowering and pruning out dead branches.
Azaleas and Rhododendrons can sometimes be attacked by weevils that eat the edges of leaves and rootlets, as well as the infamous "rhododendron beetle" which does not usually cause significant damage. There are effective natural solutions against weevils. Yellowing of the leaves (chlorosis) in Rhododendron indicates poor iron assimilation from the soil and can lead to premature death of the plant. While alkaline soil is often the cause, poorly drained soil or deeply planted root ball can also explain the phenomenon.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
